Froze enuff times but never frostbite, although sometimes it felt like it. But I got the impression the rider ate the chiles _after_ the ride. Interesting, though. I wonder if it's more than endorphin's but maybe increases the circulation too. Bet so. Of course he mentions Canuk $, so he's definitely exposed and frostbite is never something to toy with. Riley
