Default 31 Degrees. Yee Gads!

Rode in to work at 6 a.m. Temp 31 degrees. Checked windchill factor for 60mph. Confirmed my insanity. Just my hd jacket and gloves. Frost everywhere. Afternoon hit 53 and this week in the low 60's. Gotta get it in before winter is here for good!

Like faber said, watch out for the ice with the morning frost.

I rode in this morning, 35 degrees. Yes, it's cold, but low 70s here this afternoon.

People looked at me like I was a blithering idiot.....HA!

60mph winds? Forget the cold, that's scary on a bike. Been blown out of my lane in a thunderstorm.

i know what you mean i ride all thru the winter in ohio and some of the looks you get from people in december when its 40 or 32 they must think were nuts.

And iam pretty sure he was talking about how cold 32 degree's feels when your going 60mph on a bike thus a wind chill like 60 mph. I have always been told that at 50 or 60mph take 20 degree's roughly off the air temp so 32 would feel like 12degree's.

Was about 33deg. when I left at 6:30 this A.M. Really not bad at all for my 6 mile commute. The coldest weather I've ever left for work in was 14deg. That seemed a little ! Yeah, I'd do it again.
