Thanks! Trust me, I've spent some quality time looking on Amazon and PBK at various cold weather riding items since I got home from this event. Haven't bought anything yet, but so far I'm looking at a thermal baselayer top and bottom, leg and arm warmers, a windproof/rainproof or at least -resistant cycling jacket, etc. I actually have a full-length Turtle Fur balaclava that I just wasn't using on this ride (a big mistake). And I'll probably buy some shoe covers and a helmet cover as well.

I'll be doing a lot of riding this winter. While the temperatures most days are in the 60s or 70s during winter (Arizona), if I want to ride early morning I'll need to be prepared to start with it down in the 30s or 40s, or if I want to ride at night (which I sometimes do) I've ridden down to around 30 or a little under before.

Last winter I did the Festive 500 on Strava, which is 500km in 8 days starting Christmas Day and ending New Years. I went out and got my first ride in just after midnight the day it started, and did 50 miles before going to sleep. This was so that I could get in a sleep cycle after that first 50 miles, then go out and ride again during that first day, and gain a recovery advantage over if I'd done those miles all at once. I just bundled up in non-cycling gear for that, and probably looked like the Michelin tire monster. It didn't matter as much for that ride, since I was doing like 12-14 mph on a mountain bike. I'll be riding much faster this year for the Festive 500, so I'll need better cold weather cycling garb.
