Who likes to ride in the fog?

I don't think I'd want to ride in thick fog unless I really knew a road well. Even then I'd have reservations. Not seeing that hairpin turn would really suck.[/quote]

you are supposed to lock your back tire up about every 50 yards when in dense fog so when they come searching for you they can see which part of the mountain you ran off by following the last skid mark.

Now that's a good idea!!! That's using the old melon.

Riding in fog, in addition to being cold and damp, can be extremely hazardous. You can't see sand, gravel, or slick spots in the road, but most bikes' tailights are hard to see until the car or truck has already mowed you down from behind and said, "musta been a rabbit or a possum," and driven on. Bery bad medicine.

I rode almost 30 miles in a fog before it finally started to clear up. Early morning, so the sun was barely out...dark, couldn't see well, got pretty soaked. It wasnt bad but it was uncomfortable not being able to see road hazards and other traffic. If I had to do it again I would wait until the fog lifted before taking the ride.
