Did an hour on the road bike today, haven't ridden it in quite a while. It was chilly, about 40 degrees. First ride at that temperature in a long time, and I wasn't as prepared for it as I should have been. Forgot to caulk the holes in the bottom of my shoes, so the cold wind was blowing over my toes the whole ride, couldn't feel my feet by the end.
The rest of my clothing wasn't too bad. Baselayer, jersey then wind jacket. Shorts and tights. Layered gloves. Any colder and I will need to start using the chemical heat packs, or get some proper booties and cycling gloves. Your hands aren't doing anything except catching wind the whole ride, so they get cold really quick.
