North Florida, as in North of Ocala is quite different to South Florida. Usually once a year, we get a short 3 or 4 day spell of overnight temps dipping into the high 20's F / -3 or -4c etc. The cold here is quite humid and biting, very different from a drier, cold climate. No snow and so on, but a friend and former Minnesota resident has noted the Florida humid cold doesn't feel pleasant riding, particularly during our non DST nighttime rides. All relative I guess, but 48F and rain is cold in my book, but the right clothing always helps! This Sunday, high temperature of 65F and sunshine, perfection 😄🌞

Nice! I really hope to ride in Russia sometime in the future. The coldest it gets in this part of Florida is about 25 F / -5C. No snow, but the cold is humid. Good luck!
The video confirms this, and well proven for the coming review. However, if you looked carefully, I rode an ass saver. Worked fab except for the front wheel, whee!
Great video. I have been riding the rail trails in Florida but look forward to riding the gravel when Im dont with those. Thanks for the videos!!
Was wondering what constitutes cold in Florida?

Mudguards anyone?
My mate Todd had them, and I had an ass saver. No worries.
