Member Contributer V-FORE Posted December 30, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted December 30, 2015 Let the games begin!! Since Timmy the Cop & jekrumpe have not re-started, I thought I would since it was a chilly ride in. Here is the start, I must say after not riding for awhile I need to build up my tolerance Old Wind Chill Index 68 MPH @ 24F = -15.45F New Wind Chill Index 68 MPH @ 24F = 0.59F UPDATED Calculator: http://www.onlineconversion.com/windchill.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR4Lee Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I've been here more than half my life now. Whatever tolerance I once had for cold seems to have faded away. Thinking I need electric heated gloves, and I'm not going out if it's under 50. Brrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Last ride of the year was in November. It was -8 celcius (17 Fahrenheit). 100 km/h (60 mph) for 45 minutes = -32 celcius (-27 Fahrenheit). Even with heated grips on full, multi-layered and windproof clothing, and cold riding gear, I was a popsicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer VcFR Posted January 12, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 12, 2016 I definitely well not be participating in this! You guys are crazy! I hate being cold. ...55 degrees is my cutoff and I really have to debate on riding then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfunkomatic Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Sometimes it happens by accident. But fall and spring riding here can easily get down around zero Celsius without warning. All part of the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
