:pop: this thread got retarded at post .01 before the submit button was ever clicked. That being said. Geoffs comment is valid… Riding on public roads in cold weather, when conditions are less than ideal is foolish. Be safe. ---

How is 50-55\* too cold though. The same people that are posting in this thread are the ones that were out in the 40s pushing it as hard as they could(however hard that may be) in the spring this year. ---

Which im not condoning either… their luck might catch up with them. Its not a risk im willing to take, nor is it a risk id advise my friends to take. 55 isnt tooooooo cold, but is it worth the risk? are your tires really up to a good temp? its only going to get colder out, and this guy makes it sound like he thinks its smart to get out and race through NY until theres 6 inches of snow. Kinda ridiculous. ---

It’s not the going in a straight line at 100+ that’s dumb, its thinking you’re going to be able to stop or move if/when something gets in your path, be it an animal or w/e. I’ve got no problem riding in cold weather, I have heated grips and gear to keep me warm. Riding hard in cold weather when there could be dew on the road, leaves, animals (don’t forget we’re nearing the rut season for deer so they’re def. moving more) and all the other shit that might come up when riding is what’s dumb. The personal shots were pretty uncalled for and childish IMO. Everyone knows that consequences of riding hard in sub-par situations and I wouldn’t feel bad if someone went down because of their own stupidity or lack of experience. ---
