I live in the midwest. So, not Alaska by any means lol , but normal seasonal changes.

Just got my bike in September last year, so the coldest I took off in, without proper gear I now know, was about 52 degrees F at dinner hour 6-7pm-ish? in October. I was so desperate to get out for a ride after work, I did just what you said. I wore my fingerless gloves, and put a stretch knit pair underneath the bike gloves. BTW...talk about "FRED" on the stretch gloves...they were a pair I dug out of the closet that my TomBoy daughter rejected because they were pink and had the cartoon characters "The Power Puff Girls" on them-lol. It was chilly cuz no wind cutting properties with the knit fabric, but kept my fingers from feeling like they were gonna fall off on a short hour ride.

So, I would ride further, and into colder conditions if I have proper stuff to help me stay warm. All my bodyfat is in my good ole bootie , and none on the upper body (my ribs show) since I lost 40#, so I kinda am a cry baby about being cold all the time --less overall bodyfat does that to you. But I love my bike, and if I could keep warm, I would go for it. Actually Fall is my favorite season, and I did enjoy riding in the colder weather...maybe I'm crazy on that one, don't know for sure .
