Thanks guys. I'll look into mittens, and even lobster claws.
I'm fine riding with mittens (do it all winter long) but the lack of dexterity would be an issue, yerknow those frosty mornings making coffee with gloves on. Really don't want two pairs with me.

Maybe mitten food prep is just another acquired skill!
edit: maybe Chefisaac could chime in about that!
