One can always dress for it. The question is whether it's worth it for you. You can buy "choppers" ,huge honking leather mits, inside of which gloves can fit, or even the latest gear that will be used to scale Everest. If you'll only use it once each year, you might want to skip it. If riding in the bitter cold doesn't appeal to you, you should skip it for that reason. I rather go the other direction, and get to the point where I can ride in any weather, because I want to become carfree.
