Anyone who rides a 50 mile round trip in moderately strong wind with a chill factor of less than 20 degrees ought to have their head examined.

Why I did over 150 miles after work on friday and the high temp during the ride was 26 degrees F.

Of course I ride a First Gen:smile5:

I suppose the next thing you're going to tell us is you were in levi's, sandals, and T-shirt. You're a better man than I am . I think I've been in Alabama too long as even 45 degrees is chilly to me anymore.

Yep levis, T-shirt, flannel shirt, union suit, sweats, and leathers. No sandals against the law in NC.

I didn't say I wasn't cold, but I didn't say I was warm either. Gotta get some better boots and gloves.

My commute is a 70 mile round trip. When you're doing 75 mph on the highway, I'm not sure that a moderate wind is going to make much difference in the chill factor.

 

I'll ride to work down to about 30 degrees. I wear jeans and flannel lined chaps. The lower wind deflectors keep enough air off me that my feet do ok. My butt is big enough to take care of itself! Up top, I wear a long sleeve shirt, flannel jacket, and mesh jacket with nylon liner to knock the wind down. Finish that off with lined gloves and a neck gator I can pull up over my chin. The heated grips aren't the answer, but they help enough to get me to work.

Try some hippo hands over the heated grips. Makes little ovens! Wear a pair of cotton gloves from Walmart.
