I joke with a coworker that "Wind chill is for wimps," for the reasons cited. I have a Temperature-Dress chart in 10 degree F intervals that I use for the current temp. However, last week at 30 degrees, I did not wear a face mask, as according to my chart, but with an unusually strong cross wind of about 30 mph, I did need it. I fortunately brought it along and put it on about a half mile into my ride.

I did admit to my co-worker that I "wimped out."
