we are running high 50's to low 60's here now (although Sunday was 80 - sweet) temps are nice, but winds are cold
I don't have fancy cold weather gear so I layer, and layer and layer - I can always peel
on top
layer 1 sports bra (of course)
layer 2 thermal camisole to keep core warm (I wear one of these all the time all winter)
layer 3 short sleeve jersey (sometimes longsleeve)
layer 4 long sleeve fitted jacket type made from a wicking fabric
Layer 5 unlined windproof layer
layer 4 removed first if necessary but usually not necessary
Bottom
cycling shorts
lightweight thermal underwear (I wear these all winter even indoors)
wind pants
have been known to peel thermals if on an all morning ride and the temps warm up but now everything stays on - I am a wimp when it comes to cold and my muscles cramp up.
I just wear my regular cycling gloves
I go barefoot in my road shoes so I switch to my mtn bike shoes and wear socks
I think I will add an ear cover of some type today
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
