14'F ride froze my bagels

[Bikerbozo]

14'F ride froze my bagels. No, that isn't a euphemism. I took a nice chilly trike ride out to get breakfast for me and the missus and the butter on the bagels was frozen on ride back.:Joker3::AGGHH:

Wow!..You are a real man! You win! Wonder what the windchill was. A group of 25 of us went for a 100 mile ride yesterday and it was 30...That was bad enough. If I went for a ride at 14, I am sure that more than just my bagels would be frozen! And that IS a euphemism!!

What's an Euphemism? Don't thin I got any of them...........:Shrug:

Euphemism means a word or expression that means something else. In this case, think about something that might get very cold that you don't want to get cold. At least if you are a guy. To put it more plainly, it's when you freeze your off!

Well Bozo, Just trying to yank on someones chain, didn't think it would be you though. Enjoy reading your posts.....Keep it up.....Ol' Man...:wave4:
P.S. You got bigger Bagels (Euphemism) than I do at that temp...:AGGHH:

I love to ride but there is no way I would ride at those temperatures.

'Scuse me -- it ain't just the guy's that feel the cold!!
"The girls" have been near frozen on a few occasions

I am curious why you are riding around in the cold with butter on your bagels?? I prefer baby powder.

Turns out the 14'F was the warm day for the week.
Just rode into work and it was 5'F when I left home. Tried to freeze my slide-rule off (I'm an Engineer), but I had too many layers on. The Artic level gloves also. A wind chill chart puts the 70mph I was travelling at -27'F.

Whooo!...You the man!! You could ride in the Antartic!! Like I said earlier..you win!
Good thing you protected your slide rule too,,, they dont work too well when they are frozen. If ya know what I mean.

Every time my wife sees an image of snow she says " Snow, I'd love to be in snow". She has never been in contact with snow. It's extremely rare to see it in Queensland ,then only on the southern tablelands for a day or 2.
I don't know how you guys do it. Just those numbers are making me chilly. I guess it's the old " It's not bad weather,just inadequate clothing" story.

When we left for a PGR ride the other day it was 30 out.
Was almost 70 on the way home.

Last year while on our riding tour of USA I saw, and touched my first snow! ThumbUp We were staying with friends in SLC, Utah and rode up into the Wasatch Mtns. My friend even got off her bike and went and got me a snowball to throw.... cool!
Also saw it up close while riding Beartooth Pass. Really beautiful site to see the snow capped mountains.

Get you and your wife some gerbing heated clothing and ware a three quater flip shield hemet with a ski mask are a full face helmet,and you can ride lots colder then that as long as there is no snow are ice on the road.
On a sunny day with no wind are a light wind it makes for a nice ride.

I agree, So far the only snow we had was in October, Went right up my driveway with ease, I had a Can Am [3 years] with traction control and abs, I would have to push it up the driveway. As soon as the tire would spin the engine would cut out.

Had tires mounted and blanced on the 2-wheeler yesterday so I went for a 75 mile ride in a t-shirt yesterday-Oh, I'm in central Florida and it is in the 70's today too !!!! This is why I retired in the sunshine---to ride all year round!!
