I should ask him how this will affect his apple crop, which was looking pretty good then. I know that if there's a lot of rain close to cherry harvest it's bad, because they swell up and split, but apples aren't cherries.

I wouldn't say that. I draw the line somewhere just like everyone else. I've had some wonderful rides when it's 30 but I've had miserable times in wind and sleet. And when my feet get cold I'm not having fun anymore.
I understand that we are all different and our tolerance for extremes of weather will vary.

I'm the same way about feet. There was only one ride where my boots with 400 weight Thinsulate were barely cutting it - about 25 below.

I love the layers, wear what you need to feel comfortable. I have this big arctic-style down parka that I just love to wear out in the middle of a blizzard, along with my warmest boots, some gaiters, ski cap, hoodie and gloves, and holler "Bring it, winter"! Impervious.

That said, I'm really looking forward to not having another Illinois winter ahead of me in a few months
