My worst ride was a couple of weeks ago with the temperature at 16. I hadn’t ridden in a week and wanted to get my Blast out. The roads were dry and I have decent warm weather gear. I calculated that the 5 mile stretch of Indiana SR-37 had the wind chill in the neighborhood of -40. By the time I got home, a couple of my fingers were white (on the road for a total of 15 minutes). I don’t plan to try that again until I buy heated gloves. Since I only have been riding since October, I am looking forward to rides that are too hot, rather than too cold.
