I really enjoy riding during the winter when temperatures are in the 30-50 degree range. I tend to ride at a slightly reduced effort compared to summer riding. I'll also ride when the weather is in the twenties, but these rides need to be shorter, less than one hour.

Dressing appropriately is key. The clothing needs to breathe to avoid moisture build-up from perspiration yet it must also retain body heat. The hands and feet also need the perfect amount of wind protection while minimizing dampness from perspiration.
