@ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite A1. Northern Virginia as usual. I’m a #FairWeatherCyclist, but it’s mostly a question of adequate clothes. I have adequate clothes for down to 40 F or so, but the point of failure is my eyes and my nose. A cold wind makes them both run. I supposed old-timey biplane goggles might work for the eyes. Unclear what would help the nose. #BikeNite

A1) I'm posting from deep in the Coconino National Forest, at about 7000 ft elevation.

I'm a #FairWeatherCyclist, but also a wanderer so year-round I tend to go to places where the weather is nice. If it's too cold I go south and lower elevation, if it's too hot I go north and higher.

A1. Posting from #fabulous, if a tad nippy at the moment, #VancouverIsland.

A1.a. I am, generically, a #FairWeatherCyclist; the term refers more strongly to **weather**. During active weather I am likely sitting inside (e.g. scrolling caturday pics.)

I am fine riding in freezing weather when it's dry, hopefully sunny, and little wind. Precipitation, adverse breezes, and fog are my nemises.

On the #LeftCoast / #WetCoast. <sigh>

Our intro and Q via @bobjonkman

Q1. Where are you posting from today? If you're a #FairWeatherCyclist what's the start of #CyclingSeason? A particular calendar date? A certain temperature? 40 days and 40 nights of no snow?

@cwebber

Temperatures have been cycling-friendly around here ( #WaterlooRegion in Ontario, Canada) the last few days, but winds are way high (40km/h) and it's raining.

So no cycling for me yet. Bike stays in the basement another month.

I knew about Winter Bike To Work Day, and thought @CycleWR might have organised a group ride, maybe on Saturday. But I didn't receive that notification (the mastodon.sdf.org has been a bit sluggish lately, and I owe my mail server a bunch of technical debt).

But I wouldn't have gone on a winter ride anyway -- I'm too much of a Fair Weather Cyclist.

A couple hours ago I checked the forecast, thinking about a ride. @duncan__british_columbia was not very encouraging; basically no chance until about noon - https://ca.fedimeteo.com/duncan__british_columbia/p/1769872477.249978

But Apple's weather disagreed, the rain would taper off in 40 minutes.

I trusted #fedimeteo more. And it is now pouring outside. I will check again in couple hours.

#BikeNite A1: Posting from #WaterlooRegion where it's been raining all week. So my biggest accomplishment this week was going out in the rain for a short ride to the bank. Only five minutes and less than 2km, but quite an accomplishment for a #FairWeatherCyclist.
