Not so fast. In Cali, we do have snow.. whether in The Bay or LA, we have Lake Tahoe up here, and Mammoth down south Portland has colder water since it's closer to Alaska + rains more up there + 55 mph speed limit on highway. but enjoy that if that's your kinda town |

In Cali you can ride to the beach and surf then go up to the mountains to snowboard or ski all in the same day.

It's f...ing cold and windy here today. Supposed to hit a high of 66 but with these winds the wind chill will probably make it more like 60.

40 here, and it's been spitting snow all day. Very windy. I'm off work with my kids for Spring Break, and I had hoped I would get in some short rides. So far that's not working out.

I just got in from snowblowing. There is a foot of fresh snow in my backyard. It sucks because it was spring. I have put several hundred kilometers on my bike already and now its like we are back in to the depths of winter.

I have all waterproof stuff except gloves, and I have ways around that.
I'm more worried about cagers.

Those blinking light things would be good in rainy weather, the ones on the Formula One race cars. As for waterproofing your gloves, wrap a plastic bag around them
