Cold Weather Riding Thread 2013-2014
Hey,
Though I would start this thread so the real riders can report how low they will go...
I will start.
Rode today:
36° when I woke up, about 40° when I left for work.

where you at? I am in Northern Virginia, so it is only getting worse... I will get a few good days here and there.

Those tag games made absolute idiots of otherwise normal, reasonable people.
February, 2010 I'm suffering from insomnia. Nobody online to jerk around. Three ADV tags 250 miles away in Tide Water area of Virginny. And the weather man says it will be 60's and sun in the Virginia Beach area when the sun comes up. 2 AM and I'm rolling south down I-95, stop for gas in Fredericksburg, VA., digital sign says it's 17 degrees. I was OK until I saw that. Frost bit gonads was the least of my problems that ride..a few hours later I was frisked, cuffed and stuffed while a number of M16's were pointed at my intimate areas and some humorless Homeland Security peeps doing the pointing. Seems they don't like their installations photographed. I must have a short attention span. I forgot all about the ambient temperature when the weapons came out.......
Cold don't slow me down much. Ice and snow pack is a consideration.

I would have peed myself, so yeah I would have warmed up as well...

It's funny how much I pay attention to the morning temps now that I ride. Right now we're in the mid to high 40's in the morning. I'm plenty warm with my jacket and gloves. I'll ride in any temperature as long as it isn't raining.
My favorite time of the year is when the morning temp hits 60 and I can ride without my jacket.
