How cold is it?
Thanks for the tremendous response on if you plan to ride over the winter or not. I saw a lot of great questions that I hope to investigate over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, the U.S. national weather report shows rain and snow over much of the U.S. Midwest today. I’m supposed to have a high of 90° F where I’m at near Santa Cruz, California today, but I know many of you are donning cold weather gear for the first real storm of the winter season. What was the temperature when you left this morning for work? Were your neighbors scraping ice from their windshields? My coldest ride was in Champaign, Illinois in the early 90s. It was forty degrees below zero when I left for work one morning.Recent Articles
