I rode today in 48°F temperature and almost froze. There were a few other riders out today but they looked like they were dressed warmer than I was. There wasn't much wind while I was outside before my ride and the sun was nice and warm but the wind chill riding down the highway at 70mph was almost to cold. >> Stay informed about: Almost to cold to ride

Cool products Ryan but I'm going to have to think about whether I ride enough in cold weather to purchase those products.

I have decent first gear stuff, including liners, pants and jacket, and the ride home tonight (5-6deg C, about 40degF) was nice.

That's one thing I love about living down south. It is just about perfect riding weather down in Louisiana right now. I feel bad for all the guys and gals up north that can't ride year round, but then I remember how much better it feels up there in the summertime.

I decided to ride to the polling place this morning to vote before work... it was 33 degrees and breezy. The local cop looked at me like I was nuts. This time of year, the ride home makes the cold in the morning worth it.

Huh? can't ride year round? why ever not! gets a bit nippy perhaps, but that's no big deal. >> On Sun, 17 Oct 2004 01:38:11 -0500, >> > I rode today in 48°F temperature and almost froze. >> > >> > There were a few other riders out today but they looked >> > like they were dressed warmer than I was.

Sure I can ride year round, even though it's a bit sweltering in the summertime. I knew some folks that couldn't ride year round up north when I lived in PA. The roads were too bad in the winter time, and the wind chill standing still was -10.
