Whimp!!!! (just kidding)
Seriously that sounds pretty cold. I keep taking myself into temps that i never thought i would ride in. We have had it pretty cold around here according to normal temps. The coldest i have ridden in is 1 F so far this year. The windchills are the big thing though. This pic was taken early Saturday morning 20 mile ride with temp 6 F and windchills around -10 to -15 F. Note the frost around my head. No, it wasn't snowing, i think that is from the heat leaving my body.
I have still managed to ride pretty comfortably in these temps but i agree that a person can be over zealous and end up looking pretty stupid, if not dead. I hope i'm not that dumb but i guess time will tell.
