What to wear??

You might want to try some of the microwaveable hand and foot warmers also... not very green in the manufacture, but at least they're reusable.

I am in awe. I lived two years in North Dakota, so I know what 40 below is like... it's like, I never want to experience it again! You rock.

i wear panoptix glasses from sierra trading post (foam eye cups keep the wind and cold out) and an underarmour mask with another full face mask over it under my helmet. a co worker said i looked like a misguided superhero in my winter biking "oufit." no skin left uncovered, only way to go.

I think it was on bikejournal I read something like this:

"You haven't lived 'til you ride up next to a car waiting at an intersection wearing full winter gear, face mask and goggles, and hear the THWUNK of all the door locks in a large SUV engaging simultaneously." Still cracks me up

Nerdy science factoid of the day:

-40 is where Centigrade and Farenheit are cross. That is they are the same temp.

I've lived where it gets that cold, and I'd be worried about frostbite on the face. I miss good, honest cold - but that's a rant for another day.

Toe or foot-covers? Wear shoes that are a size or two large and several pair of socks? (I'm serious here) A plastic bag over each shoe to keep down wind infiltration? You'd make fashion model of the year with that!
