Coldest temperature you rode in was?????

[TommyF]

32F was my coldest ride, probably could go a little lower with better gloves.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

A day at -30° F, once in Stowe, once up in Canada.

 

[icebiker]

-7F. Started the ride with a 27speed FS bike and ended with a rigid singlespeed. Everything froze up. That said I’m sure that Iditarod Jim (@jimvreeland ) has that beat and then some.

 

[Paul H]

I think 18 was the coldest

 

[rick81721]

40s is pretty nippy in shorts and short-sleeve jersey down here

 

[Big Al]

11F, I think. Real feel was below 0.

 

[Bike N Gear]

Started at -3 when I was younger and stupider.

 

[Steve Vai]

-7F. Started the ride with a 27speed FS bike and ended with a rigid singlespeed. Everything froze up. That said I’m sure that Iditarod Jim (@jimvreeland ) has that beat and then some.

I've definitely spent some substantial time in the low end of the range. Lowest confirmed Temp was -50 during Fat Pursuit. My thermometer has seen under that during the ITI but I don't really trust that.

 

[UtahJoe]

-6 at Stephen's once after a snowstorm.

However, ridden on the road when it was 40 and raining, way colder and more miserable than - 6

 

[Dusty the Whale]

When I 1st started riding @THATmanMANNY lead a group ride at 6mr. It was pretty cold that day.

I'll mtb in the teens no problem but nothing under 25° on the road.

 

[The Kalmyk]

Single digits definitely quite a bit.

 

[shrpshtr325]

i have seen i think -7 offroad, but on road it just gets too miserable for me below 40 with the windchill and all, ill go hang out in the trees below that temp.

 

[THATmanMANNY]

@Dusty the Whale some OGs on that ride. @walter @warcricket @The Kalmyk

 

[JimN]

Single digits. With proper gear it's not too bad, as long as it's not windy. Slow, technical trails are also better when it's cold, because you get less wind hitting you if you ride slowly, and working hard helps keep you warm.

Gets hard to to find a reliable thermometer in those low temps but somewhere just below zero and did road those few days

 

[Patrick]

Had a sub 0F during BIYF - sported the snowboard gear.
The helmet and goggles were great!

 

[rottin']

5 degrees was coldest for me...in the woods

 

[xc62701]

Single digits for me for sure with maybe an odd 1 or two days where it dipped below zero. Goggles and MANY layers were definitely needed.

I knew this guy would come along and ruin the curve!

I think single digits for me. My jacket started to frost on the inside which was disturbing and I quit. I have ridden in the teens without too much incident.

 

[Fire Lord Jim]

Road ride after work in the dark 14°F. I had locked myself out of my truck at work. Got a ride home, then biked back 17 miles in the dark. I ran out of gears. I moved the shifters, and they just stayed pushed.
I would never ride in that temperature for fun.
