I'm thinking go for it. Here's why.

You're close enough that you'll either be fine or a little chilled. If you're a little chilled, you aren't going to die or get frostbite or anything really bad in just ten miles. Uncomfortable, perhaps. And perhaps not. It depends on how hard you pedal. And if you do get too cold, just pedal harder. You'll warm right up.

Plus, it's going to give you experience you'll need for planning for other cold mornings this spring, and you'll know what you need to buy for next autumn and winter.

We've all learned what works for us and at what temperatures by trial and error. Here's your chance to begin learning before winter hits next year.

FWIW, if it's like it was today in Upstate NY, it's not too bad at all. The air is dry, which helps an awful lot and the winds were light. Cold and damp is a real bear, as is really windy.
