I don't get it

I'm not a cold weather person. I love the heat. I find playing golf in temps in the 100s comfortable. However I can't seem to put on enough clothes around the house when the weather dips below 50. However I enjoy riding in colder temps as much as anytime of the year. Feels invigorating. We're fortunate that in the Piedmont Carolinas we can pretty much ride year round if you can deal with temps in the 20s/30s/40s.

It's taken a while but I have all the clothing needed for temps down into the 20's, and I've learned what clothing to put on depending on the temps. I think once I found a pair of gloves for really colder weather and figured out how to keep my toes warm enough all was good.

It's also important to just accept that speeds are slower, heart rates are higher and the wind is always in your face......

Anyone else enjoy riding in colder temps?
