Thats one hell of a Climate change

 

Its low 50 in the morning going to work so I wear my full track gear that's the best I can do against coldnest hahaha I even ride tuck in to avoid the cold breeze

 

It's mostly my hands that get real cold. I need to pick up some thinsulate gloves.

 

Latex gloves under your regular gloves helps a little bit to keep out the winter's cold. I've used winter gloves before, and they help keep your hands warmer, but it takes some getting used to your bike's controls.

 

50 degrees.. cold? I still wore my mesh when it was 50.

I rode untill it got under about 25 in the morning. Under Armor, Thinsulate gloves, Long Johns, and somtimes head 'condom' for snowmobiling

haha....50 degrees...cold?.....hahahaha

I wish it was 50 here. We got that white **** all over the ground

 

It just snowed here for the first time last week. Now there's ice too

Anyway, I've been wearing a long sleeved shirt and a heavy sweater under my mesh jacket which has a liner, I wear my jeans under my mesh pants, which also have a liner. I wear a Balaclava under my helmet, and a thin pair of gloves under my leather (unventilated) gauntlets.

50* is ******* cold when you're not working up a sweat. I mtn bike in a jersey and shorts in 50* weather just fine but when riding, I unno.

40 degree is a norm for you? last summer, we had 112 degree days, and 90 degree nights.. 50 is ******* cold for socal.

i wore a textile jacket all summer, and now the temps are dropping, im also looking for a new setup.. something i can dedicate to winter. i dont' want to drop a ton of money, but i just can't find the right leather jacket. i might just go with a all black firstgear jacket or something.. just to cut down on the funds.

Stick with textile and get something with a full liner and no vents - it will keep the wind out, and heat in better.

 

50 degrees!!!! m3h.... it's below zero and there's about 10 inches of snow on the ground where i live, with hail the size of bowling ***** and i'm riding in a wife beater, and spandex...

i know what you mean it's just about 50 in the mornings in sac, i use those hand warmers in my gloves. it helps..

That just made my day haha

50 degrees cold ? In that case I wish it was cold here, instead of this god damn ice storm

 

Right now for Alexandria, VA:

34* - Feels like 26*
Wind WNW at 8 mph
Today
Windy/Partly Cloudy
High near 45*. Winds WNW 15-25mph with gusts to 40 mph.


I'm still riding to work :-)

 

In all honesty, do you guys still enjoy riding when it's that cold? I find whenever I'm "toughing it out" through the cold, I'm really not having fun... it's more miserable than anything.

Commuting sucks but once you start moving around on the bike and working it at a good pace you heat up. Same deal at the track except you're pushing harder and heat up faster.

 

Man do I miss 50 degrees. Its 3 out right now, and thats after warming up from below zero this morning.

 

Anyone use the A* Apex Drystars?

 

What winter gloves do people recommend?
