It's a sign that you should be on skis this time of year.

I hear you on that but I am not into the local slopes (NJ).

Default Colder Weather: Harder To Ride?

Some years ago I had the flu and this neat new digital pulse meter that I'd
ordered arrived in the mail. It was February - about 20 degrees F - but I just
*had* to go out and run a few miles to try the thing out.

One case of pneumonia (not a bad way to go, actually...very mellow) and 30
pounds of body weight later I found out I had scarred something-or-other
(bronchs?) and now I'm only good down to about 40 degrees. Any lower and I
wind up coughing my brains out all night - and, worse, my Better Half gets
really ****ed....


Scarred something at 20F??? That sounds awfully
warm to be doing damage to your lungs to me, but I
don't know much about that stuff. I do regularly
run at 20-35F and haven't had too much of a
problem.

My friend working in Antarctica at the South Pole
told me that they have an annual "Race Around The
World" (a 2 mile course around the actual South
Pole). This year it was -30F and he said his
lungs burned for hours afterwards...plus I think
he was breathing thru a balaclava. Ouch!

RE/

I don't think it was the 20F, more like the ensuing two-three months coughing my
brains out after bacterial pneumonia on top of the flu.

Makes no difference to me . When I'm on my XC skis I have just as much
trouble with the cold air as I do when I'm on a bike.
