Ever wonder what the wind chill factor is when riding. Here is a chart showing that information;

 

awesome...

ok someone explain to me why the temps rise at speed if ambient is above 90 ish.

and what effect does humidity have on this?

It only goes up to 65 MPH (the column down the left side). The numbers up top are temps.

Might be useful if it went up to 90.

 

I just did 140 miles at speeds of around 70mph at temp 40f, my knees feel frozen solid, I need some heated gear.

 

High of 44 degrees and raining here today. Chills you to the bone. I'll leave the bike parked today. Weather like this is why they made cages. LOL.

 

Here is the formula...

 

There needs to be a way to factor in how long since you've ridden your bike. Because I know 65 mph at 30 would feel much warmer than -9 after a month with the bike in storage

 

Thanks for posting; I was just going to look for a chart like this

 

I think the wind chill is only relevant if you are riding nekkid.

 

According to that chart, it was -9 degrees with wind chill riding to work this morning. Seems about right judging that I lost feeling to my feet!
