Nope, my feet were warm. From riding in 25 degree weather the day before, with only one pair of socks, it was a no-brainer to put on TWO pair of socks this morning for the colder weather. Also, the gloves I had on yesterday, I have them in my backpack, because the ride home should be warmer. But, I pulled out my extreme cold weather motorcycle gloves for this trip..Cheap dollar store wool gloves/liners and put them inside. My hands were WARM.. Now, it was a little difficult to shift on the brifters, but I got my gear, and gone.!!

Again, my commute is not as long as yours..IMO, you a CHAMPION, if your commute is over an 1 hour or even close. In cold weather, even when we are dressed for it, there is the COMFORT ZONE. The COMFORT zone is how long we can ride before we get TOO COLD. When I reach the end of my comfort zone, I stop to get warm. I do this on the motorcycle and the bicycle. I found out that going past that comfort zone, will make you unsafe, and the ride is not enjoyable. Just what I found out from years of riding all year around on the motorcycle..

One hour and 15 minutes in the cold!! You be doing it!!
