I'm still figuring out this cold-weather cycling thing. Headed out yesterday: beautiful 40-degrees, sunny, light wind. Wore my tights over shorts, silk turtle neck, stretch fleece top and PI wind vest, and Ear bags. Tried out some 2mm Aleutian neoprene paddling gloves to see how they would do for winter riding.

Everything felt great except my feet! Ouch!!! I have shoe covers, but thought it was warm enough not to use them...Wrong...My feet were so cold they actually hurt as they warmed up after the ride. Next time I might try some Sealskin socks inside my shoes with some light wool liners.

As in any winter sport, I guess it's all about finding the right combination of stuff to keep you warm enough, not too warm, and still able to move.
