Dressing for the cold ride
This is just so you know how cold it really is for a bike ride. (I got alot of questions yesterday about what to wear when it gets stupidly cold)
Here's my nutty get-up:
long sleeved craft base-layer with the high"zipless" turtle neck
short sleeved craft baselayer with the windfront
castelli swanky bike shorts
bergamo leg warmers
bergamo are warmers over the craft's long sleeve
sugoi winter weight wind front long sleeved jersey
pearl amfib windfront tights (those new ones rule with additional protection on the rear!)
capo wool high top socks
shimano cycling shoes with the whole in the bottom taped up
castelli woolie over sock
castelli windfront/winter weight bootie
craft wind front cycling skull cap under helmet
helmet wind-block cover
Pearl lobster claws
bergamo winter weight (thick) vest
I can barely walk around as my clothing probably weighs 20 lbs. That said, it's 38 degrees right now (gonna warm up to 43 today!), and I am heading out the door for a few hours in this get-up. I even think I've gone off the deep end at moments like this, but I am so sick of the rollers and trainer already that perhaps I will go off the deep end.
Funny thing is, I've got a weird smile on my face still. So my question? Would *you* even ride if you had to wear all this junk?
