luvs southern california weather......
I tried wool sock liners and then wool socks in my hiking boots. It was only -1 celcius (30 F). It is going to get a lot colder. I may look for the heated socks before winter is over! Last year I used some hand/foot warmers. They were okay but not great. I think the problem is that I don't have enough room in the boots I am using so my toes are cramped. Have to look at different foot wear. I don't use riding specific footwear.
I did 26 km but it took me 2-1/2 hours since I just toodle along enjoying the ride. It was funny because even my face felt frozen when I stopped to talk to someone who wanted to ask about my fat tire bike!
