I think I rode a couple of days before it became "spring" so I can only barely comment. But basically, I learned that I can ride in the cold. It was 16f and snowing when I had to ride because my wife needed the car. So I put my Novara rain paints on over my dress pants and my snowmobiling jacket and off I went. It was totally fun. I wished I had a headband, but after about the first 8min I couldn't feel my ears anymore anyway, so no big loss.
