39 degrees this morning on the ride into work. I usually ride until snow stays on the ground and they start salting the roads. I leave early for work in the morning (03:45) so it usually is one of the coldest times of the day. I will only ride when it's below 32 degrees if the roads are dry. Up here in the Adirondacks you will see these temps up until late June and again in late August. This reminds me that I need to hook up some heated grips My r1100rt has factory heated grips and vents that blow warm air onto your arms from the oil cooler.
The longest coldest ride I did was 2 years ago around Columbus day to Conroe Texas. It was raining and 35 degrees when I left NY. Didn't warm up considerably until half way through Tenn. On the way back it was spitting snow flakes around Scranton Pa. Glad I brought my wool longjohns and my down vest.
