Considering where you're from, most people would expect the CA bike to be the first in the barn

I will have to add, you got some grit to be riding in that kind of cold

That's why the Australopithecenes invented clothing.

I need some cold gear. I miss riding. It's not near as cold here as where you are (35*) but the windchill of riding sends me into bone shaking shivers. I may look into some UnderArmor cold weather gear so I can ride some more.

We've had a few days without added snow, and the roads are pretty clear. Unfortunately, even with a fully charged battery the bike just doesn't want to start when it's 16F (-9C) out. It cranks fine, but doesn't catch. Maybe that just means that it's smarter than I am, but still. Harumph.

Also running a 5w something is better in the winter.
