    Yesterday and today were a bit cold, but I only have a 4.5 mile commute to work. It's going to be a nice ride home though

    I rode yesterday, it was pretty cold at 10 pm going home.

    Rode my bicycle today: might be the last chance to catch the joggers along Storrow Dr. before they bundle up like Eskimos till April...

    WTF? There's no snow on the ground in Burlington... and it's supposed to be 60 degrees next Wednesday.

    I'll be riding for as long as I can stand to. When it starts snowing more regularly, I'm studding the tires on my dual-sport.

    Yep, no snow in Burlington but go 5 miles east and there is snow.

    Although the Duc has a nice arse warmer the tires don't stick all that well and I don't own a dual sport anymore.

    Season OVER. (now the wrenching begins)

    Yup I ride almost everyday now. Ya know, in the summer you don't mind the rain, BUT when it's 40 and raining, I choose the truck now..

    Re: Okay... this morning, I was pretty cold

    Still riding...I ride year 'round, cuz you get a few of those days during winter that are ok for a ride (even if its a short one!) I keep my eyes peeled for the sand, etc. and I'm good to go.
    Which reminds me...what undergarments do you wear? I use thermals, turtle necks, thick socks, balaclava, etc., then the leathers and gloves. Anyone use the new stuff? Those that "wick" away moisture, etc?

    I am. Low 30s when I left this morning. My Fieldsheer Adventure gear rocks. All I need is a better set of gloves.

    I ride year round as well, but my warm gear is crap, its basically the same as my summer gear but with a sweatshirt on under my jacket

    Sean...your Fieldsheer is all outer gear, right? What do you wear underneath to keep warm...or is the Fieldsheer good for that too?

    I tried the new 'Ski Doo' Technical under clothing. It works good !! before that I used regular thermal underware ie: the old waffle pattern.

    Re: Okay... this morning, I was pretty cold

    Yep today was a balaclava day.
    Damn scooter won't start so I'm on the 600.
    I go all winter unless its icy or salty out then its in the cage.

    Double layers on the legs now.
    I wear a gortex and wind proof fleece seems to do the trick.

    I've stayed away from electric stuff so far, though many seem to swear by it.
    I just dont need it that much and dont want to complicate things coming off
    the wiring harness.

    under armor cold gear worlks wonders. I picked up a set ($50 for the pants, $40 for the shirt) at city sports. I wear it under my work clothes all day and since my office is cold, it actually feels pretty good.
