Wow my helmet's off to you my man!!! Upper 20's is where I start to whine.

How long is your commute? Mine is an hour so at 70 mph the cold gets to you.

I may have some *****, but I clearly don't have all my marbles

Yeah, the weather has bounced back and is a little autumnal now. Of course, autumn in Montana.......

Today was a rain suit morning..........I like my HD rain suit, but I wish the zippers and velcro were beefier, like in powder pants. But of course, powder pants don't have the heat shields....

Something very relaxing about riding in the rain....

Where in MT are you from, Grooveman? I'm in Bozeman.

ok, so I had to convert. 6F is about -15C. That's a bit chilly, I agree. I've been riding to work every day this month, the coldest it's been was -10 (14f). There were a few days last week when we had several inches of snow on the roads, it was very slippery even for cars, took the train in those days.

Personally I think it's more dangerous riding the train than the bike on snow. Those people on the train are disgusting, sneezing and hacking wiping their faces with their hands then grabbing the rails. With N1H1 in the news, one can't be too careful. But I do digress.
