Went out today for a ride to try the new(to me) hybrid . Prairie threw everything at me, wind, freezing rain, then snow. Had ice on my helmet when I got home . So I guess 28 is the limit for me.

I am nervous about biking to work tonite. I've laid out my clothes. The alternative is walking, and that's just scarier. I found some latex gloves from work so I'll wear those under my gloves. That should hold the heat in!
Are the roads icy, though? That's the main concern, I guess.

I cycled at temps of -17 deg C in Northern China a few years back. The roads were dry so no fear of ice but after about an hour the hands and feet told me it was time to go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
