took the bike to work today. There was a spot where cars had gone through a puddle on the way out of a shopping center and dragged water onto the road for about 30 feet... @ 28*F :D. I saw it coming too late to do anything, so just let it ride. Bike got all wiggly under me, but made it through. I was awake after that!

It's not the old age. I just prefer to have feeling in my fingers all day, that 2-3 hours after I ride when my fingers are stinging in pain and wont move properly is not my idea of fun. If its not at least 55 I'm not riding.

With heated glove, pants and jacket, all I had to add was a ski neck warmer to cover my neck and lower chin. I can ride all day long without being cold at all

Maybe I'm missing something, but all there was was water in the street? That shouldn't really cause any loss of traction by itself.....I've road through construction zones and such with water everywhere, the beginning of rain storms, hail, etc, never caused a loss of traction.

Unless you were leaned over quite far, maybe you need different tires?
