Default How CoLD?

At what weather temperature do you refuse to ride, without the use of electric pant and jacket warmers....40, 30 or 20degrees:

Here in Atlanta it was 40 degrees and it wasn't that bad on the highway......

Like I said before, as long as there isn't any snow/ice on the roads and it's decent out, I'll go for a ride. Granted, you can't have that much fun in the twistys, but it's nice to get out and go for a nice long ride. Yeah, in the Winter it can get purdy chilly but it's worth every second on the bike.

Golfing and riding are my 2 favorite things to do, which kinda sucks because they fall within the same "season". 99% of the courses out there are shut down for the Winter for many reasons which leaves riding my only option for Winter. I'd probally go nuts if I couldn't at least ride so I'll put up with the harsh cold weather, don't want to, but I will.

35 is about it for me. As long as there is no snow, ice or bad salt onthe road I will ride. i sue to ride my qaud all the time in the 20's and do it all day. I like to ride when it's 50-70 out. When it's real hot I sweat to much in my gear.

I'm sorry, but my SO CAL brain can't wrap around the idea of riding in anything colder than low 50's....

Super bowl sunday this year I rode from Macon to North Atlanta on i75... it was around 95 miles and it rained half the time... I found out once I got there that it was 23degrees outside the entire time.
