I know it sounds wimpy to y'all up in the Great Frozen North, but 65 degrees with the wind chill at fifteen to twenty mph factored in is just no fun.
We all get older and I don't handle cold as well as I used too... the cold aggravates my lower back issues.
My youngest just decided that she wanted to ride more into the winter... she was checking out the studded tyres on the folder here and then and we went for a 5-6 mile ride in what started out as 36F weather and then dropped down to freezing by the time we were coming home.
She usually freezes but complained of being too warm.
