Denny, 40° and salt free is riding weather I'd go out in, but I wouldn't be trying to do long distance in that.
Chris, my personal best was 26* two times. One was 45 miles of highway. The other was 50 miles of back roads. Toasty warm both times. People on highway bundled up with hat and gloves on in their cars thought I was crazy...buahahahaha

For years I didn't have another vehicle, just the bike. I rode to and from every day to White Sands Missile Range where I worked.
One winter my wife got me heated gear because the temps were dropping. It was a record low, about 17° and my ride was over 50 miles into the middle of the desert.
My gear shorted and stopped working. I kept going and suffered early stages of frostbite and hypothermia. I don't do cold well anymore.
I don't know Russ. I'm worried about that wrecked tattooed waitress that is rude to her customers. I heard she also badmouths them behind their backs. Just horrible!
