The argument then came up. when does being hardcore and riding in the cold, become a stupid idea?
I personally want to get a picture of it being -20 and me heading out for a ride.. I mean that's brag rights?
Below 50 degrees and it's just plain ******ed to be on a bike....of course I am spoiled by living in the South. It's below 50 degrees 11 months out of the year in NY isn't it?
I grew up in Maine....and used to be able to take the cold.....not no mo.
