What is all this snow and ice stuff you all speak of?
Come to think of it, what is winter?
I was riding all Winter. I didn't last year since I wasn't home a lot. I wear a pair of AGV Sport Telluride pants with the rain liner and quilted liner. They do a great job. I usually wear an Underarmour base layer shirt, then some thin layers with my Joe Rocket jacket with the quilted liner. The combination does the job well. If I am just going around town, I don't need much. Just the rain liner in the pants works fine for me into the teens. It doesn't take me long to get ready if I am going a short distance, less than 20 miles one way. If I am riding longer I will pay more attention to what I am wearing.
I rode my old 1986 Aspencade from Iowa to Pittsburgh, PA one day in the 30's. It didn't get into the 40's until I reached Indianapolis, the halfway point, and it never got into the upper 40's the entire trip. I may have to do it again. I will be moving back to PA the middle of November and will be riding the bike back. I may get a chance to ride it back in October, or simply store it here but I would prefer to have it in PA. I will probably get some heated gear if it will be too cold. My schedule has put a wrench into my plans, I have to get the move done in ten days which includes two trips there and back as well as packing. I was going to be able to take my time riding the bike back if the weather got bad. I figured I would simply stay in a hotel. Now I don't have that option.
I know I have posted these before, but here they are again.
