Providing there's no ice or snow on the roads ... I'm riding. Pretty much year round here in Florida!

Most of the timetemperature is not an issue,of course I would not cherish a long ride down near the freezing mark.With enough protection and desire to ride,and no ice,Let's Ride!

drrandall1 I have ridden in -13 for 30 miles one time. I used to ride every day unless the streets were icy. Now I ride 20 or above. I live in the mountains and drive to DTC so I know about the morning lows. I bought the Harley heated gloves and a Gerbrings heated vest the best things I ever bought for riding. Now at 20 deg I get to work warm and enjoy the ride as if it were summer.

It really doesn't matter if I get the urge to ride. Now mind you I wouldn't be riding in the negatives but the coldest I have rode so far was last years Frosty Nuts run that our club does. It was -7 celcius, I am not sure what that is in farenheit but I know 0 celsius is like 32F. This year for our Frosty Nuts run it only snowed on us.
(Frosty Nuts! is our annual ride to Bastogne in January to honor those who fought)
