Default Help! I'm a desert rat. Cold weather riding.

I'm in the desert and am not used to this weather. (you guys in the east and north, no laughing)

This morning it was 27 deg! Now it has warmed up to 45 deg! BRRRRR!

Anyway I'm dying to go riding. What is the warmest clothes that will allow me to ride w/o getting in the way or restricting my body?


PS. I was gonna wash my Jeep but the pipes are frozen

I figured that you cold weather folks would get a kick out of me here. It ocasionally gets 35 deg at night but it usually warms up to 65-70 by noon. It's still 45!

I want my 125 in the shade back!

sleding as in snowmobiles...or sleding as in sliding down a hill on a piece of plastic....because they could head to the dunes and ride a dune on a sled...that would be kinda fun

dragracer-We can go to the beach, skiing, sleding, or desert riding, ALL ON THE SAME DAY!! I live 1 hr from the beach. I look out my front window at a 12,000' mountain covered with snow. Or, in 2 hrs I can be riding at Glamis. We have variety like nowhere else!!

Chris-I layer on some Hot Chillys underneath, and a Moose Monarch Pass jacket and pants over top.
