I won't be setting records but in central PA it gets cold enough and it will motivate me to get out! Can i play? huh? Can i? And exactly where do i go to "get on the board?" |

| Elite 3471 Evergreen, CO | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2009-2010 I've actually never ridden when temps were under 40*, except the one time temps dropped during the ride and it started snowing -- my knee was pissed for weeks. Guess I'll have to wear windpants over my winter tights this weekend. And a facemask? How do you do it Bill?! It's supposed to be mid-30s and snowy. Probably need to ride the fat tires too, eh? |

Susan I have so many different layers it isn't funny. Balaclava and a hat on top of that (under 30 or windy), bike shorts, tights, then wind pants on top of that (type depending on temperature), boot covers (under 35 generally unless it is wet out!), and upper is all dependent on temperature and moisture. Definitely fat tires for here on out - until Spring. I ride SS sometimes (if the roads are clear only) and have a blast. It is like when you were a kid and playing in the rain - only now people think we are crazy and we get funny looks! Supposed to remain nice this weekend - heading to NV/CA next weekend maybe I can score some points then! Tnx Bill! We've been lucky the last couple winters -- rode almost every weekend and temps were never below 40. |

| Elite 3471 Evergreen, CO | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2009-2010 Ok, it was a high of 37 today and it wasn't bad at all, even with the light rain/snow. Stopped by a cyclocross race at the start of our ride -- I may have to try that eta: And now I see how the points add up for riding in cold wet weather -- sweet! Edited by skarl 2009-11-14 6:47 PM |

| Elite 3471 Evergreen, CO | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2009-2010 It's a craptastic day in Colorado -- almost a foot of snow and it's coming down fast  Have a run on the books, then take the dogs out to the golf course to burn off their cabin fever. Gotta build my lead before this storm hits the rest of you. |

| Expert 1128 Boston | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2009-2010 Grrrrrrrrr! I headed for the mountains today thinking I too could pick up points. Don't you know it was 62! I hiked in a t-shirt and lounged on the summit in the sun.. Good day for me but alas...no points. |

| Master 1734 On a lake in the Adirondacks in NY | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2009-2010 55*F here. Ran this morning in a t-shirt. It was foggy and damp, but way too warm to get any points. Took the dogs for a walk and they ended up swimming in the lake. It is November, isn't it? |

| Elite 3471 Evergreen, CO | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2009-2010 I found an easy way to figure out temp and wind on my rides: wunderground.com. You can get a history of weather for the day wherever you are. I thought it was kind of breezy yesterday but turns out it didn't hit 5mph+ til after we finished our ride. Doesn't work up here in the foothills tho since we have so many pockets of weather and varying elevations. Maybe I should start my own weather station. I had a great road run today -- not many people out with the snow and ice |

| Expert 671 | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2009-2010 Finally scored some points...now I have to figure out how to add them up. A photo post-ride Friday afternoon for everyone's crappy enjoyment. We had a great ride! Started with nothing, then face pelting sleet, then giant wet flakes of snow, and the finale was rivers of Ammonium Sulfide that looks like soapy floods. Had a blast. |
