Still, warmer than the 26F (3C) when I went for a run in the snow on Monday.
We're a bit further north, but the ocean plays a nice regulating role in our weather balance. It's never really cold around here. We did get a bad stretch of rain (26 days of rain, uninterrupted) late-December and January, but now it's (generally) better. I didn't stop riding all winter (but it did cost me about 200$ for fenders, including time and repairs) .

OK. My experience: Dry off as much as you can, especially your hair. Put dry tech fabric clothes over whatever you can't change out of. Have gloves and good warm socks. And have a blast!
Great advice! I'll do all that! You'll be the first informed of how it went!!!
