Fuck that. I only rode in the cold because I had no choice. Z seats give my butt nice grill marks within minutes.

You'll hit a patch of ice and die.

I saw a few bikes out last night, mid-50s.  I was driving top down, of course.

Just bought some cold weather gear yesterday. I'll ride until there's snow on the roads.

I rode to work this morning at 37 degrees, perfectly comfy in my gear. Only trouble is my visor fogging up.

That will happen. If you find a solution, let me know.

Lemon pledge on the visor (bonus, it smells great!).  They make things that you can buy, but I'm too cheap for that.

My helmet came with a removable anti-fog liner for the visor.  Basically makes the visor like a dual-pane window.  The inner pane is thermally insulated from the outer, so it doesn't fog.  Haven't tested it to see if it will work because, well, I don't ride if it's much below 65 degrees.  But the science seems sound.

I dont know if they had any fancy anti fog visors back when I bought my helmet. I can't believe I've been ridng for 10 years now. Using the same Shoei and only on my second jacket. Many gloves, though.

There were a few ice patches on the road this morning. Lots of idiots still have their lawn sprinklers on, and they shoot into the road.
