UGH! After seeing the above pic I promise I will never whine again about the weather in NC, USA.

Check is in the mail though, so maybe by EOM the gasser will be here.

Sorry Clay, but not being able to ride my new XC is a major issue!

It's way to cold and icy here too!! High at my house today looks to be 22? Did try to get the Ktm out the other day,, just slid around on the frozen and snowy ground. Now the snow is too deep unless you have spikes or a belt/ski.

22 degrees too cold??? What??!! That is PERFECT riding weather. Some trellies, under-armour and a decent set of gloves and life is good. In fact, at 22 degrees, you just break a light sweat. Now, like Bobt said, last weekend at 6 degrees started out a bit cold, but was still a beautiful sunny day in the snow. We love winter riding in Western PA!

Yeah bputt. I like 15 degrees. Snow is all the better. You get home and you're clean. No mud.

An enduro jacket, glove liners and I'm good to go.

For the rest of you guys, usually you end up too hot because you dress for warmth, then when you're in the woods and working the bike you get hot.

I grew up in PA and I remember riding in all types of weather as a kid. We used to think 60 degrees was swimming weather! We'd sleigh ride in 10 degree weather until we couldn't feel our faces and our fingers stopped working.

Now that I've been in the South for 28 years I've turned into a weather wimp. Below 40 degrees and I'm not riding anything except a pre-warmed car!

OK ok ok!! you guys are crazy, can you say hypothermia... before you even get on the bike and thats probably before a good 15mph wind and thinking about it what would the wind chill factor be? Oh I guess it really wouldn't matter.
From someone who lives in Florida That's just to darn COLD. But Have fun anyway.
