After visiting Mom today, I did 13 miles down to the river. Same temp...but the sun was out. MUCH BETTER.
I changed two things:
- I wore a glove liner and a shell. The shell blocked the wind better than two woven pair of gloves
- I wore wool socks under my cotton ones...this wicked better and kept my feet much warmer. Yesterday my feet were cold after 16 miles...which I now realize was the moisture held in by the cotton socks I was wearing.
I wore:
- two pair of socks (one wool, one cotton)
- long johns & leg warmers, under cycling shorts
- two long sleeve new tech shirts under a cycling wind breaker (high necked)
- skull cap
- glove liners under a shell
