Yesterday got a chance to try out my new Bilt Tempest gloves. Left out to work around 0400 or so in the morning. It was a little chilly around 30+ degrees. Definelty windproof. The cuffs went over my duty uniform sleeves keeping the air from going right up them. It was awesome not having cold brick hands on my 20 or so minute ride to work. They kept me comfortable and moderately warm. Bulk...... Lost a little feel for the clutch and brake and a bit more when operating my signals. If they were any more bulkier. They would not be used again. They are waterproof! Awesome plus. Great price and value for the product. They were bought at Cyclegear for only $19.99. Overall so far, i'm happy with the buy. By the way. Cyclegear has a site where they can be purchased. Have a good day everyone and stay warm.

Just a little something. MEAD. Mead is amazing. It tastes great and thought i'd give it a try brewing a batch of my own. So far turning out amazing. I'm finding out you can totally make your own brews without dropping a bunch of money on store bought stuff. Only difference it the waiting.... Well the batch I made will give me about 4 bottles of 750ml size for about $10.00 worth of supplies. To buy my normal Mead at the shop it would cost me $80 to $100 for the same. The only other plus is being able to claim I made it myself. Can't wait to share with some friends when it stops fermenting and mellows out. Just wish there was more of a following out there for Mead. If you don't know what it is. It's a Honey wine. Bunch of stuff there out on the net about it. By the way. I haven't done much riding lately. Got really cold. Only updates about the bike. Got a Batman symbol put on my windshield now (I love Batman!). Got some winter gloves. Haven't rode with them yet. Will talk about this later and some pics when I get the chance.
