28 degress has ben my coldest. It was 80 or so today in Va beach!

 

Mid 30's for me.

 

Couple years ago, had to drive 35 miles to work at 18* on the morning run.Mostly on the hi-way. It was pretty cold, that was before having much cold riding gear too.

If the temp is 45* I figure its close or below 32* when at 55mph so I won't go out.

 

When I was young and foolhardly, I took a ride at 7 degrees, bike was new at Christmas time. Now I don't do much below 45, because in Seattle at 45 it is usually raining and cold.

 

I ride year round in New Hampshire.[/align][/align]The key is maintaining body temp and avoiding ice and snow. If the roads are clear of snow I ride.[/align][/align]I run a Gerbings heated jacket liner and heated gloves. At a 20 degree air temp I am very comfortable. I have ridden on a 5 degree day but the bike was not happy.[/align]

 

Rode a toy run a few years ago it was 9 degrees. Dressed to look like a bear. Hands froze even with good gloves. Total about 45 miles.

 

A couple of years ago when we left Va for Daytona, it was 17*. We rode about 150 miles before it got up to 32*. Our Gerbings kept us warm.

 

Lowest has been about 15 degrees for 15 miles. Had balaclava and leather jacket, but only jeans. Had good gloves, but heated would've been better. I plan to commute this Winter as long as roads are dry and not salty. Sure wish I had some Gerbings.

BTW, choochoo, read your post above. Riding at -20F? You are one crazy SOB! [sm=hail.gif]

When I was just out of high school I tood a job about 20 miles from home, one day end of November I took my CB360 to work and had to call my Mom to bring my Dads pick up temp dropped 30 and 8" of snow fell that was my last day riding for the year
