What's the coldest temp you'll train outside in?
Moderator: Moderator Team
The coldest I've commuted in was -23°c. I had 15 km one way. I realized pretty soon that i had forgotten to check the thermometer that morning...
It was less cold when I went home in the evening. Fortunately. (But still like -12°c).

Damn guys you are crazy, here in my city in Mexico we are spoiled, we consider 5 degrees Celsius almost too cold to ride, only the bravest ride in that weather ja. For what I read you would be wearing a summer jersey in that weather =)

That is only true in the spring. In autumn 5c feels cold to us too, but after a long cold winter 5c is literally shirt sleeve jersey weather of it's sunny and not too windy.

If my softshell jacket is not enough, I am not riding. Which is around, 5 degree Celsius
Not really training but more a social ride, and it was -6°C this morning, did 75k with the group. Short+longsleeve merino shirts under the Gabba 2 was enough though.

yea that's too much.
for me there becomes a point where it's not hardman riding anymore, but just plain stupidity. I'd trainer for 4 hours any day than to be outside sub 32F for hours.

0c is not that cold. You need to apply rule #5.
