If you mean temperatures below 50F and rain may I suggest that you
don't. I did a double century in 56F and rain (mid June) and it just
plain sucked. There is no enjoyment (even from the absurd) and you
need to be wary of hypothermia. For those of us with asthma it's even
worse as it can cause breathing problems. I'll ride in the cold as I
can dress OK down to 32F. After that it depends on the amount of wind
and sun. No or little wind and sun I'm good to about 18F. But when it
comes to rain I prefer not to below 70F and definitely not below 60F.

I can see that. I'll ride down to 45 F in the rain, but I got neoprene
booties for the Gekos, and I'll be wearing latex gloves under the cycling
gloves, I think, next time. If that doesn't work, guess I'll spring for the
neoprine gloves.
