Humans are funny creatures. At least in the north they are. Yet, from what I have heard on this forum, the argument could be made across the spectrum.
Perspective, here is my example; around here, when it's 65 degrees F in the winter months, we go, "Man it's cold in here!" and we throw on a sweater. In the summer when it's 65 F we run around in a T shirt (that can be a warm day up here!)
Likewise today. I got home from work this morning and decided I was going to spend the day riding when the high was supposed to 50F, well, I never registered more than 48F on the thermometer and most of the way it was 42F. Clear Blue and 42 and grand day in the north for a November bike ride. Seems I wasn't the only one. Passed four others, bundled up and out for what we all expect may be the last one of the year.
There again, in July we would likely be complaining, "It's 52 out, it's too cold for a ride!" But today, we embrace the moment, endure the cold and think it is worth it when on a summer day of the same temperature we would likley complain it was too cold! Perspective.
For me, I looked at it as a warm day compared to the day last week when I went for a 31 mile ride when it was 36F. All I can say is I must be twisted sister!
Yep, it was a good day for a ride. A cold day of riding is better than a warm day stuck at work. Don't get me wrong, I would rather have the warm day, but ...well you know what I mean?
