-24F is as cold as I have ridden. I commuted in Wisconsin, 10 miles each way. Layers, something on your face, and mittens. I had some crummy neoprene shoe covers. Got frostbite once, the first time it was -24. Left some skin showing between my gloves and my coat for about a minute.

Pcad - how is/was Greece? A far cry from the subject of this thread, but back home I'm sure this is a great suggestion.

So ... did Banff get snow, or was it just in the peaks? I drove home from Radium via SRC the day before yesterday and the peaks were pretty white.
