If it was 41 here, I'd be riding! Unfortunately, it's 7*. You've got a windshield and a good cause - Go For It!

41 degrees is nothing, you will be fine.

Just wear the right stuff, and the windshield you have will be another bonus.

Good for you!! The "Ride for Kids" is the one charity ride I participate in each year here in Arizona. Ours is usually in October and it's held in Phoenix. Weather conditions are a little more favorible then than what you're having now.

I survived...but I'll take riding in 100 degree weather any day over the cold. But it was for a very good cause!

The Sporty did give me one big carb fart in protest of riding in the cold!
