"" Post the lowest temp you've ridden in for more than a few miles for the this* winter. Extra details would be nice, but not required, i.e. gear worn, where you went, etc. I'll post the names and temps of the top 10 in this first post, as they are generated. Also... no windchill, no handicap and no participation trophies! Don't hesitate to correct me if I miss someone or make a mistake. "

All temps in Fahrenheit

From Paul " I'll start... I rode 27 miles to work yesterday morning and it was 46°F when I started. Didn't pull out my electric gear yet, just wore my Tourmaster Transition 4 jacket and Caliber pants, with liners. "

" Ride safe and stay warm out there. ""

* edit for accuracy

Welcome cold riding fans, jumping in to get it started. Get out the opossum sox!

(I'm busier this year than I have been in quite a while, patience please.)

Weather Under Ground (wunderground.com) says my commute yesterday was 34° at 8am.
Ride home was 38° at 6pm. Not really worth mentioning but just to get on the list...

My only concession to temperature was to pull out the medium-cold gloves and long undies under the jeans. That's my at-or-just-above-freezing setup. I have other gloves, and boots to pull out along with Klim bibs and heated grips for when it gets colder.

I'll keep quiet until a dry-roads, below 10° day happens to line up with my need to go somewhere.

Remember to put the tally post as the first one on the thread so we can see the top temps by just doing a hover-over on the post's forum listing. Right now, hover-over shows the list from your old post with rules. Maybe just edit so the current top 10 is first and the old post is after.

Later,
Kent Larson in Minnesota

Being that this is a "Gentlemens" honor of what temp you rode in. I was joking in the other thread with my 42 remark.

I gentlemanly rode in pleasant FL temps of 64 to 68 yesterday not 42.
