last year i rode when it was like 40 with just board shorts and a life jacket Crazy Eyes

we go all year. less in the winter, im pretty sure its gotten below 45 in the water. cold steam starts coming off the water and the air starts to sting and everyone runs up into my friends hot tub after every run. we usually triple up on rashguards, but sometimes we see who can last the longest just in boxers.

oh yea

It's naturally heated. Stays a year round temp of 98.6...all you gotta do is drink alot before you ride. Laughing

It's too cold when there's ice on the lake, otherwise, shut up and ride! Laughing
