Gear for winter riding???

[Squirrel 2]

Yes, it's really cold here. Yesterday a front came rolling through. It dropped from 50's at dawn to 30's during the day and down from there overnight, with howling winds to boot. It actually felt colder riding yesterday than today because it was overcast & windy, 18 mph headwinds with 25 mph gusts to fight all the way home! Today didn't feel so bad out because the sun was shining. It's supposed to go down to 18 tonight -- what's one more degree amongst friends anyway?

Try some skinny liners (Craft makes them thin as underwear) under a pair of fleece-lined gloves with windstopper on the outside (Gore makes really good ones). You'd be amazed at the difference.
