Where in Wisconsin are you? Here in Shawano, I can still get a good ride in here and there.

So far, I actually kinda dig gettin' bundled up. It's like when you were a kid and you'd get layered and play in the snow for hours.

So far, the coldest I've ridden in was 32 degrees. It was chilly, but it felt good because I was layered. Under Armour tops and bottoms, thermal tops and bottoms, reinforced jeans and a tight sweater with my riding jacket, gloves, face/neck warmer and helmet...

Hell, I wanna go ride right now thinking about it.

P.S. Got spooked the other day. First time riding in the rain, it was COLD and it was raining good. Not nearly as bad as I expected

I live up in Maine, I have no problem riding in the cold at all, I kinda prefer the brisk air, it helps me breath better.

I did just put my bike up though. My rear tire started showing belt, and my new one dosn't ship untill the 31st (I got that CycleGear deal) so i don't think i'll be riding again this year. A shame really, seen as it's gonna be 58 on my way home. Thats perfect of you ask me!
