Took off this morning for a short ride and really didn't know what temperature it was. After I got home, about 3 hours later, I was probably the coldest I've been so far. Wife laughed at me when I told her, then she told me it was about 39 degrees when I left.

Think I'll stick to 50 degree's and above from now on.

 

Coldest was 1 degree this January.

 

I left my house on Thanksgiving last year for my moms it was 24 that morning.
The first 30 t0 40 miles was not to bad. (It was a 300 mile ride).
At the 150 mile marker I was cold to the bone.
A quick gas up with some hot coffee and I was good to finish the ride.

I don't think I will be doing that temp again.
E...

 

If the roads haven't been hit by rain I'll ride at 10F. Over the coarse of a winter I'll ride in the teens regularly. In 2007 about 250 of us did the Great Teddy Bear Run at 24F. I guess you either ride in it or stay in over the winter.

 

Will ride in any temp if no choice,otherwize it is whatever temp will let the 60 wt turn over and the motor will start.

 

Zero interest in enduring "pain". Riding in the cold defeats the purpose of the bike as a sanity preserving device. Fifty and sunny is the low end.

Of course I have been on two lane backroads in NC, at night, in driving rain with multiple tornadoes but I didn't plan for it to come out that way.

 

When I left home this morning it was dark and 36 F. I rode for about 1/2 hour to my destination. Not much of a problem - long johns & jeans, liner in the coat, and lined gloves. At the end my fingers were getting chilly but that was it.

 

I'll ride as long as there is no ice on the road.

I've ridden below 10°

 

Back and forth to work (15miles) -8 degrees, my day off about 30 degrees but only if its going to warm up

 

No ice on the road and I'm good to go.

Do ride shorter distance when it is really cold.
