mansfield, MA United States | I ride almost every day here in Ma. I use a full face helmet this time of year. It has been a little warmer here this week hitting in the 30's. It was about 15-18 deg this morning when I left my house for work. I have about a 45 min to 1 hour ride but I stop for a ice coffee on the way. Its frozen when get to my office lol I did over 400 miles on Saturday some of it in snow but it never really covered the road. Some keys to cold weather riding are the lowers! They make a big difference and keep covered. No skin showing. I use a pair of ski paints made by under armor and they keep me very warm. I use layers up top. And a good leather coat. If its really cold I use foot and hand warmers but only if its in the single digits. I do almost all highway to work with very little traffic so I put the cruse control on and pull my fingers out of the glove and make a fist when they get cold. It warms them right up! Some think im nuts for riding every day but I love to ride and I take it slow around corners this time of year (lots of sand). Just keep a eye on the road and keep covered up and you will have a good / warm time. |
