I love reading where everyone is from, talked to a women in Maine today and she was like oh it was 19 below, Holy Smokes (trying not to swear) I think it is what you get used to. Grew up in So. Cal never even owned a jacket, now in Tahoe and 35F is a heat wave to me, wish I could get the family to think that way. Whats been so hard here right now is I leave in the am at 25F and start the ride home 10 hours later at 46F in between it might get up to 56F. So I have to really layer up or I am too cold or too hot.
Question, those of you with long rides, do you have big hills? My quads are killing me from hills and I am sick of them.
