I am The. Biggest. Pansy. When it comes to riding in chilly weather. Note, I said "CHILLY" Not cold. Chilly. Below 45, I don't go. It really hurts my throat so bad. Poor lungs run in the family, and I have those, too. I've had pneumonia five times, and I'm not even 35.

I hike a lot in winter. I also found an indoor trainer for this winter (yay!) and am looking at some cool videos to help it be a little more exciting. But I have a few great months of riding left, possibly up to December, before the cold drives me to hike more.
