-8C for the ride in and -10C for the ride home. I think I was dressed perfectly on the way in, as I was nether cold nor sweaty. On the way home I needed to stop several times for wardrobe adjustments. I started off with my polyester baselayer, Canondale heavy weight jersey & nylon rain jacket and was sweating 1.5km into the ride, so I ditched the jacket. At 6km my ears started getting cold, so I put a headband over my stretch balaclava. At 12km torso started getting cold so the jacket went back on. My face mask had my glasses fogging up so I kept adjusting it along the way.

I still haven't settled on a jacket for colder weather. I think I'll want something quite breathable..

Snow and high winds for tomorrow, so likely won't be riding. The two times this year I was out in fresh, deep, car rutted snow it was a little more adventure than I was looking for on 700x35 tires and drop bars.
