On a bright clear Winter day, riding is magic.
The key is to dress cold at the start. In other words, have the clothing on that you feel to cool to cold. That way, when you start riding, your activity level will warm you up to the right operating temperature, and you won't feel that you have too many clothes on. It does take practice, however, to get it right.
