The depictions one sees of Indian homes in winter usually show a tee pee with smoke rising from the top. But you never see a huge pile of wood next to the door. They must have had that.<br /><br />I suspect they were so much more in tune with nature, that they knew it would rain well before it actually started. <br /><br />Doug -- it depends on how crazy you want to get with winter riding. When it got too cold for regular gloves, I used gloves that went 1/2 way up my arm, which had liners. When it got too cold for that, I have a pair of lobster mitts, which look ridiculous but keep your hands warmer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792611617518946559.post-5598009998618784492009-11-13T12:47:48.529-05:002009-11-13T12:47:48.529-05:00"...And when it gets Crazy Cold, Windy and We..."...And when it gets Crazy Cold, Windy and Wet, Think of the Native American Indians." <br /><br />Yeah -- things worked out really well for them, didn't it ? <br /><br />FWIW, I'm trying to 'ride into winter' this year. I put fenders on my Trek 7300 and am riding that when the roads are wet, saving the R40 for dry days.<br /><br />I still need to get some good winter gloves, though. <br /><br />/dougdoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13478553852183302216noreply@blogger.com
