Wind chill is something we hear about, sometimes we even read about it. For a few of us we have experienced it. Dangerous stuff!
I see the weather that tells me the temperature is 6 degrees/feels like 2 degrees warnings. I have experienced the chill that goes beyond a shiver. The slow quiver, that dulls your ability to think clearly, and makes you unable to string a decent sentence together is no fun, and quite deadly if not corrected.
So what is wind chill exactly? Obviously travelling at speed creates a wind chill factor.
How do you work it out? Just because you are baking (read sweating) in the sun wearing thermals and all the lined gear does not prevent you from freezing and then some riding home after the sun has set.
