    In that case you certainly don't need thermals.
    Think upwards.

    Like 13,000 feet up. = -20 in winter. I check it on the thermometer in front of the wing. (somedays it's not nice checking!).

    As Ixion mentioned, anyone who doesn't ride during this time in my opinion isn't exactly a true rider, just another poser.
    And from the strange but true files, my FXR clocks up more km in winter than in summer.

    For example: Between October 2005 and Feburary 2006, it clocked up 200km.
    For the month of March alone, 200km. The colder it gets, the more I ride the motorcycle.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    Sorry Swoop, I am one person who should have picked that up. 13,000 ft in winter down here is closer to -30 degrees. In the glider that requires a bit more than just thermals, but in the Cessna the heater works just fine.
    Time to ride
