Windchill Table

Ok, so its not important during Texas summers, but we essentially have a year-round riding season. So, while our northern brethren have put thier bikes into storage, we can keep riding. The winter temps seldom get down into the single-digits, but, as you can see, windchill becomes a factor at temps as high as 50F.

Little Danger Increasing Danger!!!

(Note: Winds above 40 mph have little additional effect)
