Acclimating to riding in cooler temps

[ny biker]

I have found that, if my core isn't adequately dressed, my hands and feet wwill feel cold no matter what I'm wearing on them. It becomes a balancing act of dressing warm enough to keep my toes warm, but venting often enough that I don't start to heavily sweat. Is it possible that you just need another layer?

What were you wearing for your ride?

I agree -- the whole outfit can affect your hands and feet. Sometimes my feet are cold with temps in the 50s because I'm wearing capris instead of long tights. Also if the socks are too tight, the toes will be cold. I gave away two pairs of wool socks because they were a size too small, and I can't wear the Woolie Boolies in my road shoes because they're too thick.
