    It's 36 degrees with wind gusts up to 37mph and snowing. Right now. That's more than enough to stop me I'll be setting up the trainer this week.

    Normally, 25 degree F, and/or snow/ice keep me off my bike. The past few mornings, it's been in the mid- to low-30's however, and I just haven't been motivated to ride. So, I take metro.
    So, they're FINALLY here! I ordered them way back when this thread was fresh, and they just got here today. I think it took a month! Anyhoo, I like them. I may look like a geezer, but they are very comfortable, at least walking around my house. I'm not sure I'll get used to the yellow tint to everything. I'm more of a rose colored glasses-type

    Cool

    But you look even cooler with pigtails and a monkey on your shoulder

    Nice specs Red!

    It was 35 degrees this morning. I whined about walking to the car in the garage. I would really whine if my little car didn't fit in the garage and had been in the cold all night.

    red- You look great in your new shades!

    I have discovered that 30 F with a wind chill of 24 F is too cold for me. I probably would be ok with 30 if there wasn't any wind. I prefer to ride in 40 F or up.

    Thanks! The pigtails get in the way of the helmet. Safety first!

    I think they look cool! When can you test them out on the bike? Looks like they will be very good protection from the wind.

    I can make it out for a short tide tomorrow, like just Ocean without Sachuest. That good for you?

    I think they look quite cool. Let us know how you like them while riding.

    They're awesome. I've worn them twice, today in the rain. I'm so glad I had them for that!

    I may borrow hubby's mini goggles that he received with his Lasik surgery.

    I've cycled in single digits. Hot chocolate is my reward.

    One of the gym buddies just commenting while we were inside at spin class that about 40F is his max with a cooler wind chill... when the water bottle froze on the ride, it was a sign to come in.
