I've cycled in zero degree weather and despite my best precautions Ihad to be taken in the quikcare for hypothermia. My feet were darn near frostbitten.

I'm starting to think I'm a fairweather rider. I'll go in somewhat cold weather, but zero degree weather?! No thank you!

Once you get the bug, there's no stopping you. I've been up Brian Head in Winter, and it was brutal, but fun.

Will be there for part of our ride Saturday.

As I understand it thus far, we ride from fiveish to eightish, run from eightish to ninish. Breakfast, football, Game, mountain bike after game and dinner.

Sounds like a blast! Should be pretty good weather on Saturday too.... hey, I have another side question while I'm thinking about it. The frame of my back for the most part is a dark navy blue with some black and gray. The big accent color however is baby blue. It's almost a Utah Jazz bike... would you guess it would be really expensive to have the baby blue airbrushed to white? I know it's nit picky, but my bike would definitely look cooler to me with a white accent color vs. the baby blue.

Good paint jobs can be quite expensive, but I don't bother with that. I buy buy ti or carbon colored bikes and leave the paint jobs for more stylish people. I'm a nuts and bolts kinda guy.
