what is the coldest/hottest temp you ride in

I don't ride below 40 degrees, or above 100 degrees, if I have a choice.

 

18. Coldest. Not wanting or needing to do that ever again.
104. Hottest. Man the roads sure are sticky when it's that hot.:wink:

 

I`m quite a warm person so dont fell the cold to much so I ride all year round as long as we dont have ice
any thing above 3c is ok for me to have afternoon rides out about 120 miles round tip if I`m going further I like 14c+ as I dont want to be to far from home weather in uk changes by the hour

Hottest never comes in to play here in uk as its never to hot but hottest ever for me was south of France 47c I felt sick

My biking gear is Hien Gericke gloves cordura jacket leather pants touring boots

 

now for those who don't know 47c is 116.6f and 3c is 37.4f, not so cold but 47 is pretty hot...

 

I must admit I don't think I've ever ridden much above 110F that I can remember, not that I wouldn't but damn your balls musta been deep fried, no wonder you felt sick!!!!!

 

It has been fricking hot all week over here. I had new tyres put on my bike today. It was a 25 min ride with traffic lights. I stupidly put the leathers on. My temp gauge today said 44C (110F). I just went outside and it was 34C (94F) and it is 9.45pm.
Coldest has probably been about 0C (33F)
Gimmie a cool day over a sweaty crotch

 

Yer 3c is not so bad its just a good guide as our roads tend to stay wet so below 3 you can expect ice
on the roads
As for the 47c that was a one of as I dont spend a lot of time in the south of France
I would say what we normaly ride in is 16c to 24c living in N/East UK our rides tend to take us to Scotland
were the roads are fantastic

 

Coldest was 27F and the hottest was 103F

 

25F when I brought mine home from the dealership. 95F in Glenn Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah...HOT because there was NO shade anywhere.

Here is a photo from last year in Yellowstone...it was 30F and snowing

and another at 95F in UTAH...water was in short supply!

 

In march and october it is pretty comon to go from low 30s to 60s but a swing like 27 to mid 80s is rare.

 

I didnt doubt you. I was in awe. That is rare. My guess is it happens here since DC has some pretty weird weather. Winters are cold and bitter. Summers are hot and miserable. Spring and fall are combos of the two. Fall is the best riding here hands down.

 

As far as heat goes, I don't know but I do know it is no where near as hot as many of you here. I have been caught in -10C which is 14F. And that was fucking cold. It wouldn't have been too bad if it was just city street drivng but it was on the freeway at 03:00 coming home from work. I do have all the gear. Heated stuff and all. I find that even on a clear day or night, if it is really cold, I will wear my rain jacket if not whole rain suit. That traps the body and heated gear heat inside and blocks the cold from whistling through the seams. So long as there is no snow or threat of frost. I don't mind too much riding in sub freezing but no matter what I wear, the forehead freezes on the highway.

 

19/ 108

At 108 i could almost see the rubber melting off my tyres cuz the road musta been around 150.

 

I went out in new joisy and had the condensation that was inside my helmet visor freeze. Musta been damn farking cold gota tell yah that. Now I went all soft living in south Florida paradise/cant tolerate that torture of cold riding. I do go out in 100+ degree days in the summer. Ah the old days of Radians, FJs, and Visions. Sheesh, the bad old 80s.

 

there's nothing wrong with the older bikes, they're just a bit better in the right temps but I rode my radian all summer... before it blew up lol. I'll tell you what though, I would love to fix that thing back up and ride it again, just need to find a motor for it at a reasonable price, well most prices are reasonable but it's just shipping cost twice as much as the actual motor...

 

so far ive ridden in 58 degree temperatures,

and -18 degree temperatures.

and many inbetweens
