Does anyone out there use a balaclava, or am I better with the skullcap and earwarmers?
I think it's probably better to be intimidated by the extra sand & salt on the road than not. I am much more careful about picking the "clean" roads when I'm out this time of year.

A guy I work with rides year round too, and he prefers a balaclava to my choice of ear bags + skull cap. At that level, I think it comes down to personal preference, based on comfort and on which pieces you own!

Oh, and you're in the Boston area. Did you see the Party for the girls thread under Northeast? Some of us are getting together on January 28th at Naked Fish in Framingham - as a farewell for Spazz before she moves to the west coast. Add a note there if you're interested in joining us.
