Acclimating to riding in cooler temps

[Catrin]

It IS about time for my annual test, and I've been pretty good at taking my replacement lately... I do think it possible that I've circulation problems with my feet as I've always had a problem keeping them warm in the winter. I am probably also comparing to when I was carrying so much extra weight, this is only my second winter in a LONG time that I've not carried an extra 60-80 pounds or so...I think this is part of it.

The rest of me was warm/fine once I got going, it was just my feet - and I could certainly tell a difference with the toe covers. I didn't have my heavy-duty warm clothes on either, just a thin wool base layer, my short-sleeve wool Swobo jersey, a wind breaker jacket and my lighter-weight tights.
