If I did not ride when the temp went near freezing- or if it is raining- or the winds a bit high- Then I would not ride that often. Obviously sense gets the better of me occasionally and I miss aride but not often.

You have to have the right clothing and I think I have that now. This winter I got two new items- a ski mask and waterproof socks. The Ski mask I have only worn 3 times but it has been in the back pocket on a few other rides. The waterproof socks though-Every ride except one when I washed them and did not turn them inside out and they stayed wet. They are fantastic. If I can keep my feet dry- they will stay warm.

Now all I have to do is get the right clothing for the 90 deg rides in high humidity that does not give me sunburn.
