Here it is currently -4C with 28Km/hr North wind gusting 40Km/h
I am riding home 30 mins from now then going to visit some friends.
When I come home about midnight it is forecast to be -16C with similar
wind, (though it will be behind me) I'll let you know tomorrow how
it went. I am using a thin windblocker under the helmet, Visorgogs,
Fleece/neoprene face mask, fleece undershirt/windblocker Goretex
Jacket, Addidas windblocker thermal tights with another pair of similar
over those.Thick socks and exura winter shoes. This will be the coldest
I have tried to ride in.
-4C=25F -16C=3F
