Title: 50°F is an awkward temp
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on March 04, 2024, 06:01:50 PM

How many layers?
FoggToggs over the Bullet jeans?, how many shirts? Battery gloves?
I've learned the hard way - "my chest is cold!" - not to underestimate the chill at even my modest speeds in the early morning dark boonies.
I chose well.....

50 is my go/no go temp for long rides.  I'll go for a short ride in the 30s or 40s but for a longer day ride I want the temperature to be above 50 for most of the ride.

50° is the awkward temp, at 30mph, the wind chill is down to freezing, on a bigger bike, that goes faster, down to the mid 20s

once is gets to the 40s easier to make the decision to use a heated liner rather than an extra layer
