What to wear

[RoadRaven]

Hey Trek... I'm not riding in snow country, but Nevada makes me think snow... am I right?

Invaluable things we use in this house...
arm warmers ... can be worn with short sleeved jersey, or over a long sleeved , and just pushed down as you warm up
Some thermal water resistant gloves - essential in icy air.
Fleecy long johns to keep thighs and knees warm
Knee warmers - can be worn over long johns, or with normal shorts
A sleeveless wind proof vest is probably the single most valuable piece of cold weather gear we have

My fave combination on a cold day (read heavy frost and maybe 2-3' below (celcius) is...

My fleecy longjohns (with chamois in - my partner tends to use noramal cycling shorts with an un-chamoised longjohn over the top)
Short sleeved jersey
Thick arm warmers
Fleecy bike gloves
Sleeveless wind-proof jacket (if its raining I wear a long-sleeved jacket)
Headband under helmet to keep temple/ears warm
...and the corner of a plastic bag over the toes inside the shoe to stop the wind freezing my toes..
