Be ware of the wind chill!!

[skatefreak]

Hey,
For anyone interested i thought i'd throw this up,
be warned, wrap up, it gets cold!

But not that cold, note temperatures are in farenheit.

Taken from Long Distance Rider Community Pages

Take your speed and follow it accross to the ambient temperature to get the estimated wind chill (rough estimate, doesnt account for head/back/side winds etc).

Certainly makes me appreciate my textiles

fahrenheit?

[skatefreak]

for some odd reason it seems to be either Fahrenheit / mph or C / kph.

Point duly noted though!

So doing 60mph at freezing (which I do regularly) is akin to -33

Looks like i managed -48 earlier this year.
No brag.
Sure Finndave could batter that.

I hate the windchill factor. I especially hate the way your fingers go so numb it hurts to pull the clutch/ brake in

Last winter i put some super sexy muffs on my handle bars, and i have to say they worked pretty well! This year though i'm trialling a combination of winter gloves, thermal inner gloves and heated grips!! Lets hope that's enough to stop my fingers dropping off from frost bite!

Does this take into account whether you wear clothes or not?


But, it's not that bad really, in 45 degrees, 30mph riding would be around 35 degrees or so, which is only a tad above freezing.

Ah well,



Why the 'uproar' (?) about fahrenheit people? I use it rather than centigrade all the time.

the ends of my fingers nearly fell off on sunday, about 4 degrees C at up to 80-90, what does that equate to? i had to stop every 30 mins to thaw out my fingers, i was in agony. no hand warmers etc. just gloves...

Working out possible wind chill just adds to the psychological feeling of it being colder than it really is. If you can still feel your extremities, it's not that cold, that's my rule of thumb
