I am SOOO jealous of the sunny/warm/ridable weather. At this point anything above 45 would be welcome. Today we're having snow and another fit of FREEZING weather (-25F wind gusts!!). Anyway, my virgin freezing ride was terrrrible! I tried a ski mask balaclava combo, it was a disaster. I was choking from all the fabric around my neck, and the mask is still so big on me that I cant breath well and I'm cold anyway. SO I found a balaclava online that comes in different sizes, so I'm either going to try that OR a hooded jersey with a women's sized ski mask. I cant decide which is better, although I"m leaning towards the hooded jersey/mask combo, just because all the fabric of the too big balaclava around my neck was giving me that chokey turtleneck feeling.

But you know its going to take me until spring to find the perfect women's sized combo....ya know it.....ah well...
