I've come to the conclusion that riding temperature is directly related to age, therefore I simply don't ride below my age. My theory is that young 20 to 29 year olds can handle 20ºF to 29ºF, and as an example a 32 year old can tolerate 32ºF. <br />I at a spry 45 years will only ride above 45ºF, so as it is currently a chilly 42ºF outside I shall wait until later in the day for it to warm up before I ride. Another bonus to this theory is as I age, the further south I shall move, so by the time I'm in my 60s I should be riding with Conchscooter in Florida. Although I hear New Zealand is nice.

Usually not very far maybe 10-20 miles on any given day.

I had forgotten last time when it was around -20°F and couldn't understand why it was feeling kinda cold. Either way, I can probably attribute it to getting older...
