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 :wink:

Old Wind Chill Index 68 MPH @ 24F = -15.45F New Wind Chill Index 68 MPH @ 24F = 0.59F

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. :wacko:

Get some Oxford Heaterz .... every bit as warm as gloves and less bulky. :)

And tire chains .

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.

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.
