First Ride of 2018!

First ride of 2018. I usually get out on New Years Day but we had snow and ice in the Shenandoah Valley this year. Got about 2 hours in!

Riding in those temps should put you in the running for the "Frosty Balls" award. :D :D

No way in hell I'd ride when it's that cold... been trying to stay inside as much as possible while we are experiencing the "Bomb Cyclone". :coolblue:

What would you be calling the right gear? I have yet to figure out how to get the fireplace on the bike. Enjoy the ride!!!

I was riding my bike through early December in Minnesota, the low was 17 degrees. With heated gear it wasn't bad.

This thread makes me wonder if our bikes have "all-season"  tires. Cars with summer tires literally should not be driven below 40 degrees.

Don't know about that but good idea to check tire pressure. I've seen tire pressure drop 5 psi when the temp drops from 60 to 20.
