What sort of damage can be done to knees from the cold?
Good question...Why should I avoid this this year?

The Synovial fluid (think Castrol GTX for your knees) gets more viscous at low temperature, so the knee is a lot stiffer.
The muscles around the knee relax less between contractions when cold.
Don't know what it can actually do - arthritis seems like an obvious one though - as does "knee pain" but as to what actually causes the "knee pain" I have no idea.
