well, call me spoiled but under 50 degrees or over about 95 degrees and im pretty much over it..


I can ride in under 50 degree weather, but not for long. I will ride if it's 95, but I'll usually try to go early in the morning or late in the evening when it gets that hot...

My fingers were frostbit in my youth from riding all winter. I still ride all winter, but suffer with white fingers and it can be terribly painful and times I can't even move my fingers to remove my helmet or unzip my jacket. I never complain in summer, can be 100 degrees every day and I'm happy as heck riding. For sure covering up is the way to go in hot weather. I used to ride all day in shirt sleeves then got a little smarter and rode all day in a mesh jacket, then got smarter yet and wear a full Aerostich Roadcrafter now. After watching John Ryan ride from Pruhdoe Bay down to Key West 5600 miles in 86hrs a few years ago, I gained respect for a full coverage suit for all weather including heat.
