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....
