First To Arrive

It's October 1st, and this is the first time this year I've been able to join my riding buddies in a group ride.

 This year hasn't gone according to plan. So, I'm eager to start, and am the first to arrive at our traditional rendezvous point.

 It was forty degrees when I left my house. The heated gear, plus the ST's great wind protection, kept me plenty toasty. By the time we're done with breakfast, it may be warm enough for me to turn off the electric gear.
