I would much much rather ride in 5 degree celcius than 42 degrees celcius.
What in the hell would some ENGLISH dude know about riding in the cold? Get serious. We're talking the HUDSON VALLEY. You know, 2' snow drifts, sub zero (Farenheit) nights, stretches where it doesn't get above freezing for weeks (that's zero C). We ride through most of it.
But I do draw the line in the future when it drops below 18º or so. And I'm sure the Wisconsin guys will now tell me what a wuss that makes me : ).
