Default How cold do you go?

Its been dropping near freezing the last couple of nights, but the weather has been holding up really well for a longer riding season here in Ohio. Not complaining one bit either!

I usually ride until they start laying down the salt/brine, but the question is... How cold does it have to be before you won't ride?

If you have the right gear, you can ride in just about any temperature.

The temps don't stop me but I refuse to ride after they throw salt on the roads. I am not having my bike become a rust bucket.

32 for sure but 40 most the time. I did ride today was 42 when I took off. I love riding in the cooler weather, bike likes it, stays cool with better psi @ idle.

I wore my Frabill ice fishing bids, jacket and gloves last February when the temp was 4 deg.

I have heated gear and will ride as long as there is no ice on the road. It really does not snow too often here in Tennessee. When they do put the brine solution or salt down Usually I will sit it out a day or two and let the rain wash the roads off .
