But when it comes to riding I enjoy riding in colder temperatures. It's refreshing to be out in the cool crisp air. Most of my riding buddies quit riding this time of year. It has taken me a few years to figure out what clothing and accessories work best but I think I now have all the right combinations. When I started this morning it was 30 degrees and was kind of slow to warm up. I was very comfortable all day. I'm definitely slower in colder temps but for me this time of year is all about time in the saddle as opposed to speed. Just trying to work on endurance and fitness.

I do like it better when the sun is shining. It's also better if the wind isn't blowing too hard.

Any others?
I don't mind the cold weather at all on a still day. Add wind to the cold and that changes everything.
