Wednesday nights 180 mile to the Catskills was good weather. We left about an hour later than planned, which put the last 20 miles in the dark on dirt/gravel/paved combination of road. The Alpine Inn was alright. The website really plays it up.
Thursday was 300 miles in rain. The last 10 miles was a complete down pour. My gear held up good. Regular rain gear over the Rev-It riding clothing. My boxers were dry and toasty warm after 8 hours of rain riding. Had I wore the foot covers + riding jacket on top + heated gear, I would have been really comfortable.
GPS's worked fine. The 376c's weather NEXRAD was right on. There was no deviating to avoid weather on this trip, but knowing where there was a break in the weather made for nice gas and food stops.
Having problems with the SPOT tracker, I think its bad batteries. It keeps flashing a red light, makes me think we are in emergency mode.
