So a buddy and I decided last minute that we should get a good trip in B4 the weather gets unbearable. Headed out @ 7:30 this morning to meet up with 3 other guys. By 8:30, 2 of the 3 guys decided that they couldn't stand a little frost on their manginas and chose to stay in their warm beds. Made it about 30 miles when my fingers started to sting from the pain of frostbite. Probably would've turned back but buddy had an extra set of Held gloves that did the trick.
Got up to Bear Mt.- Rt.23 area just to see the area this time of year

Then worked our way up to West Point. Sun felt great if you were standing still but didn't help at all while on the bike. After a cup of coffee, we were feeling brave and decided to head west to try and make it to HP and Sussex. After getting lost for an hour in upstate NY, we overshot deep into PA by another hour, lol. After another cup of hot coffee and a spirited run back east, we finally made it back into NJ. WTF!!!!! Where did all this snow come from?

With the exception of the early morning chill that lasted throughout the day, it was a great trip to end the season for me. My buddy's Beamer had an outside temp gauge on it and he said that we rode all day in the 30s. Highest it ever got was 49 but that was back home already.
