Wind Chill
April 13, 2014
With temperatures steadily climbing upwards, it may seem like the perfect time for a ride. However, new riders should keep in the mind the effects of wind chill. For example, 50 degrees may be plenty warm enough to defrost the roads and make for a perfectly pleasant sunny day. However, if you are driving 70 MPH in 50-degree weather, then the wind chill can bring temperatures well down into the thirties.
