Where I live we routinely have a 30 degree temperature swing in the same day. Usually pile on the gear for the ride to work and store most of it in my tail bag for the trip home.
Low = 34
High = 110 (at 6:00 pm)
Heat that high sucks to ride in.

Lets face it 65-85 is the best temps to ride in and make the ride the most enjoyable. if your out in anything colder or hotter its just because we are crazy and love that damn bike so much lol

where is eastvale, ca? I have never heard of it. do you still have a corbin on order? let me know how you like it when you get it. It looks great just couldn't come up with 5 bills for it. Is it any taller?

I'm sure some of our NorCal counterparts can easily top those lows, er undermine them ;)

I do agree, maybe because of living in the heat I am just more able to adapt to it.

I can second that JT!
When it is hot, all I do is wet my shirt, skull cap and bandana (tied as a scarf around my neck) and open the vents in my gear and it is like riding in an AC suit for about an hour -although traffic stops SUCK!!!!
BUt when it is cold, man the shivers once they start there is no getting rid of them except for hot chocolate/ coffee breaks!
Mind you my idea of cold is pretty mild compared to what you northern hemisphere guys are posting

Same here, I can shake off the heat (except at stops) but the cold just goes to my bones and sucks the fun out of riding.

JT and I are from so cal so we don't count as northern hemisphere LOL
My friend from Chicago just text me its a lovely 4F there right now which would pretty much kill me.

35 was the coldest (not including wind chill), I had in layers: socks, boxer briefs, sleep pants, jeans, undershirt, graphic shirt, pullover hoodie, jacket, 2 pairs of gloves (dumb and dumber reference), and my helmet for my cabesa. Still came to work with frozen fingers, thighs, knees, & ankles. Hottest would be on my way to Julian 4 months ago. Temperature hit just under 100, I didn't like stopping cause the temp gauge on my bike would max @ 225 and you start to sweat from the bikes heat. If I had to choose one, it would be cold. Grabbing Pho on a cold day is always good. So is staying home and saving some cash.

Eastvale is a new city, about 3 years old, between Corona and Ontario off the 15 freeway sandwiched between the 91 and the 60 freeways. It's officially Riverside County but we are on the far west side of the county.

Corbin in still on order, about 2 more weeks until I get it. I tried mod'ing the stock seat and got it better but for how much time I'm on the bike I decided my a$$ was worth it.

Mines about the same as Anthonys, around 5-10 for a low and around 100-105 for a high.Its hard to tell tho, you can feel the temperature change around water sources, bridges etc.

Hottest 118F just fill the camelback with Ice before heading out.

Coldest 27F Took a detour to Pikes Peak, heading back to AZ from SD. Awsome ride. about 60 degree change in temp going up.

Well so far the coldest for me this winter is 40F degrees wearing summer gear with my jacket liner in and that was riding at 65 mph for 30 mins (was running late for work and didn't have time to worry about more clothing lol) and wow that is insanely cold!!! That will definitely wake you up at 5am in the morning on the way to work lol. Thanks to the blazing Houston heat and insane humidity I have ridin in temps of up to 115F or way more probably if you consider I was fully geared (jacket, gloves, helmet and boots) all summer! lol I will have to say, there were times I wanted to pull over strip down naked, throw all of my clothes in my back pack and keep riding because I was sweating so bad lol. FOR REAL :cool:

I was out riding in some 50 degree weather last night with the new polar tex 2 gloves I got from tourmaster not too long ago, it was still warm for those gloves last night, pretty insane how good they are. fitment could be a little better but not bad...

118 degrees... but it's a dry heat.

On that day, the bike temp got up to 235 degrees while I was stuck in traffic.

The hottest I think it has ever been for me riding was about 113*. Used my mesh jacket with all the vents open and stopped every 20-30 minutes and drank at minimum 20oz of water.

Coldest was between 36-38*. Was pretty cold but I did it! :) This year I called it off at anything below 40*. I decided that was best due to temp fluctuations pending where you ride. I didnt want to ride through an area where I could end up hitting an area that was actual at or below 32 and risk finding ice.

your not too far from me. My brother lives in yorba linda. We hit up angeles crest a lot as kind of being in the middle of us. If you dont mind PM me and Let me know how the Corbin goes, especially if its any taller. I just got my stock seat done as well and its better but its also slightly taller. I have not been able to get 2 or 3 hours on it yet to see if it helps with the longer ride issue. it looks cool though :)

Cool hearing all the temp stories. looks like as predicted one of our Canadian friends took the cake for cold at 10F and there were a couple of us over 115-118. This last weekend was perfect here hope all you so cal guys got out.
