Who is still riding? 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
Here we are into January. Winter has its grip across most of the lower 48 states. Just curious who is still riding and who is not. I have seen temps into the single digits... I would have to pass riding in that.

As for me here in NE Florida the morning temp will dip to about 38. I am still riding. Not sure what my lower threshold is anymore having lived here for 20 years.

Whats your story... who is and who is not?

Re:Who is still riding? 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
Just got back from a ride - about 44 degrees, and the wind at 70 mph felt like it was about 20 degrees. I just wear layers (leather, collared fleece, t-shirt, neck warmer thingy). Still friggin cold though. I must say, it's well-worth it.. I can't stop riding.

:-DD.

A cold front came in to Miami yesterday afternoon and spoiled my evening plans. It got down to 54°F. Shucks!

Re:Who is still riding? 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
You guys down south are just rubbing it in... It was 14 degree here (northern Indiana) this morning, and got to a high in the low 20s. My bike is on a jack, battery out, all covered up for the winter. It's even too cold to ride in a car (pleasently) for the first 10 minutes. It sucks!!

Re:Who is still riding? 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
I ruined my rear wheel last winter riding and not getting all the salt off. I vowed to not get the back out this winter until the salt was off the roads. Hope I can get the vow.

To those of you in warm weather states, may a camel with a weak bladder find your lemonade.
