Good points, newfsmith. I was seriously considering the Bar Mitts, but now I don't think so. I do have better gloves with Smartwool liners, but I didn't wear them on that ride, as it just didn't seem that cold. I didn't know I'd be a victim of neglesprett! Thanks for the diagnosis, lph. I can't wait to throw that term around on my next group ride.

fingers too quickly, too.
But I think the previous poster who mentioned energy issues may have a point.
That could contribute, too.
Last winter I got mittens at REI to wear over my normal gloves which I wear over SmartWool liners.
It could be time for them again any day, so I'd better figure out where I put them. When I locate them, I'll post what they are.
My hubby got me these for Christmas last year and they are WONDERFUL!!! (and so is he). :D

There is a "lobster" version as well (kinda like mittens, but supposedly better for shifting and braking).
Well, i'm new to cycling, but not to keeping warm when it's wicked cold. Someone else recommended getting some SmartWool gloves. Those are EXCELLENT gloves.
My husband was a survival instructor in Maine for the Navy for 4 years. He always recommended working to keep you core warm - that makes it easier to keep your extremeties warm.
I have to tell you I am really impressed that you're out riding when it's so cold! Once it got past 40 degrees while we were in Maine, I brought my bike inside and plopped it on a trainer. I am a confessed wimp.
