I am a fair weather rider but when it comes to cold riding I don't mind to much. My threshold is usually somewhere around the 36-38 degree mark. Colder than that and my face just hurts. Yesterday I went on a 3 hour ride while the temps held at 28deg. Super clear and crisp outside. I did a fair amount of climbing which meant some heavy breathing (but controlled). About an hour after I got home my lungs really started to hurt. Thus morning I woke up and was coughing a lot and could feel "crap" shake in my lungs every time I took a breath.

For you really cold weather riders, this a common thing to expect after a long cold ride like that? Seems like it would be a common thing to expect with cold weather like that. If this is what I can expect, I'll hold off on riding in that kind of cold air.
