Default Cold in Phoenix

It was a blustery cold 52 degrees today. I actually felt a little chilled when I got to work after my 25 mile ride. I am originally from the east and I KNOW what cold and snow is all about...just thought I would poke a little fun at those of you who are really having some cold weather...of course my son told me that he was riding the other day in t shirt in Salt Lake City. Gotta pick your days and temps and keep on riding.

Well your 52* would have felt like 41* at 75 mph, so thats a touch cold.

the 39* would have felt like 21* brrrr

and I rode in 32* the other day which flelt like 11* aka: where the heck did my testes go? cold!

Crazy how the ratio works.

I'm down in Sierra Vista and it was about 50 this morning riding to work.
It was a balmy 70 (or so) going home though....

It's not the cold up here in the Pacific NW, it's the humidity. Our humidity chooses to come sideways, in sheets....

Rode to work yesterday in hurricane force winds and and heavy rain. On my way home had tree branches and roof shingles flying past me. Still enjoyed the ride.
