  1. What is the coldest weather you have ever ridden in? Shaun and I were
    out tonight for about three and a half hours. We were practicing in -17
    F. Freezing hell - Just curious to see what you guys have.

  9. Someone here (forrestunifreak I think or someone else from Montana) has
    ridden below -40. I have ridden at about 10 fahrenheit or below. This
    week it has been between 25 and 15 and I have done quite a bit of
    riding. I build up a lot of sweat freestyling, so I'm not cold except
    for my hands which get very cold.

    Why ride with your feet when you could just as well use your hands?

  12. I don't know what the actual temp was, but the radio reported the high
    for the day at -11 f. Coldest I've ever been out in. Sunny, which only
    makes it seem colder. Links from that day:

    (scroll down on that page)

    This one was a full 22 degrees f warmer than those, but still cold:

    Lastly, one from Bill Karbo at -25 f!

  14. I haven't ridden in cold weather at all - maybe down to 15F a few times.
    But Jeff Groves and Ryan Atkins have gone out when it's wicked cold in
    Toronto. What was the coldest you guys: -35C or so?

  15. I was at -14C earlier today... about 10 degrees American... Wasn't bad,
    I wore my ski jacket, normal khaki cargos with 661's on, elbow pads
    underneath it all, and a snowboarding helmet. The way home, the uphill
    part (All of the ride home was uphill) I put my jacket in my backpack,
    soon followed by my gloves which I replaced with Harbingers... So about
    30 min of riding in a sweatshirt with fingerless gloves... and I was
    sweating by the time I made it to my door 😉

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.

  17. At the end of Toque 2003 its the coldest I've ever been. The low temp
    was -22c or -9F with a 16mph wind that just hurt. I dont know how
    thoes crazy canadians do it all winter like that.

    Yea that was a fun time.

    I wasnt sure the actual temp so I looked it up 'here'

  18. The best would be to do it with the 300 club, but ride a unicycle. The
    300 club is a growing, elite group of south pole researchers. One of our
    grad students did a stint at the south pole as a post doc for 18 months
    and told me about it. It's actually a dangerous endeavor and probably
    not encouraged a great deal.

    On days when the forecast is for -100F, they set the suana to +200F.
    They hover around the thermometer as it bounces around until it reaches
    -100F (if and when it does) and then strip down to shoes only. Then,
    dash out, circle the pole, and hit the sauna after coming back in.

    One well known trick is to do all of the running backwards. Gee, guess
    why. Anyway, that would be quite a feat on a unicycle.

  19. Greg, I'd love to try that. I have gone from rolling naked in fresh snow
    (air temp 20F) to 104F water, but -100 to +200 must be insane. If I ever
    get to the South Pole, you can bet I will have a unicycle with me - but
    I'm sure it will be in the summer so no -100F.
