We get very little wind and the humidity is pretty low. I think that MN feels a lot colder during the winter.<br /><br />It is just a group 24 car battery that I mounted in a plastic battery box in the sidecar. I cabled it up to replace the existing battery under the seat. The original battery is removed from the circuit so they are not running in parallel.<br /><br />4 AWG cables running between the sidecar and the bike.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-31309341557254926672013-09-25T07:50:12.081-08:002013-09-25T07:50:12.081-08:00I don't know what elevation the snow is down t...I don't know what elevation the snow is down to but last Saturday during the Equinox marathon, several folks mentioned that the trail was frozen and when (not if) you fell, it was like hitting concrete. <br /><br />I enjoy looking out at the mountains though I sometimes wish they were a little closer.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-49982120489478509112013-09-25T07:47:36.848-08:002013-09-25T07:47:36.848-08:00I love the colors and contrasts that Fall brings. ...I love the colors and contrasts that Fall brings. Once the trees lose their leaves and we get a reasonable base of snow, everything looks grey and dingy.
