i'm with bikerchick on that one.. i will NOT ride in the snow.. i grew up in NY... and i didn't ski... rarely went ice skating.. only occasionally did the snowmobiling thing... i'm a WEENIE!

i whine and complain when it's in the 50's here.. and flat refuse to ride in the 40's (and in the 50's i'll bet i'm wearing the same gear as you gals that are riding in the 20's... 30's... or colder... and i STILL get cold!

i thought a recent article in bicycling mag showed the different areas/climates ideas of cold perfectly.... there was the one lady from cali quoted as saying about the same as me.. that below 50 is TOO COLD to ride!

oh.. and and update on our weather.. after that first day with shorts and LONG sleeves.. it got even warmer and i switched to my shimmels! it's been getting in the 90's here.. but that is supposed to change.. cooler (relatively speaking) this weekend and even one day next week is showing "only" 69 for the high! WEIRD weather!
