Whats yours?

I saw -4 on one of my rides and single digits in many others. So this puts me in the 5 or HC cat.

Suicidal heroism? Some people really need to get over themselves.

Even they redefined themselevs, just Velo now. haha

However, by this rating scale Arwen's Mom can ride 5mph in the cold and have an Jens HC factor.

Rain is to be completely ignored. Therefore it has no impact on Jens or this chart. :getsome:

Got a good laugh out of that one.

Apocalyptic?

Let's drop some gears, add some snow and then talk about what HC means.

“I can still do my job and be a valuable team member, but it is getting harder. The winter in Germany was long and hard and cold with ice and rain; I came out of it lacking the training miles I needed to put into my legs for this season.

“But I have a wife and six kids at home in Berlin and I cannot just say ‘hey honey, listen I am going somewhere warm for a month to train, you all stay here where it is minus 10’.

-Jens

Jens factor...lance, find a factor that isnt named after someone who is afraid of the cold and his wife.

 

[pooriggy]

I vote for Ilya factor.

I've gone as far as 4, but not very often, and the times I did, I din't like it. Anything beyond that is lunacy.

Or you can all take up a real winter sport perhaps?

And unless your Batman, Superman, Kickass, or a Navy SEAL, you will never be badass in Lycra or neoprene, no matter how cold it is.
