I assume you have heated clothes? Coldest I've ridden is 32 and sunny.

Suppose to get down to high 20's here and snow down to 1500' by this weekend.

I live on the coast and from the bay widow in my living room, I can see Mount Hamilton and Mission peak. Really going to enjoy seeing the mountain tops dusted in snow with a nice fire going.

This is a rarity here as it's normally lows in the 40's and highs in the 60's this time of year.

Glad I don't deal with the snow and could 6 months out of the year like some do.

I was out last Sat and it was 25 F in the morning. I had my full face, soft lowers and gunlet gloves on and it was boarder line for me. They have sanded and salted at least three times this week so I might be done until March.

It was about 24 when I left for work this morning, no heated gear but I just throw on my chaps, jacket, face mask and winter gloves and I'm good. it usually warms to the low 50's by the time I head home, so not a big deal. I am the only one at work still riding though.
