This will be my first extreme cold ride. A little nervous but I'm going for it. Better than waiting for the CTA.....
Tuesday--if the forecast in the morning is for the wind to lessen considerably over the course of the day, I am riding. Cold without wind--I think I have figured out. Wind--you got me on that ride home today.
I know. I have goggles, actually a wrap around kind of safety glasses goggles get foggy.

Goggles. I cannot say it often enough--goggles. My eyes and skin behind the goggles did not even know it is winter.

Not if I don't need to, one upside to being unemployed I guess?
What I WOULD like is a day/night in the 20's where we get several inches of snow, we need a snow ride dammitt!
I am planning on riding the day after tomorrow.
This discussion is about riding today.
haha!

I have tried pretty much everything and have resigned myself to the likelihood that nothing works except face uncovered and my regular riding glasses.

I'm still having issues with my glasses fogging under the goggles...which aren't too fogged.
Otherwise, not a bad ride.
I have the same experience. Although today I was sorely tempted to see just how badly my glasses would fog if I wore a ski mask. My face ultimately acclimated to being frozen.
