This is the coldest I've ever ridden. I had hard time deciding how to layer it on top. Balaclava, full mittens, riding shorts over long tights. Took 15 minutes just to get all geared up.
For me, this is almost the worst part of winter commuting. I spend a lot of time getting dressed at home, changed at work, dressed at work, and finally changed at home. I'll bet it's an extra 45 to 60 minutes out of my day.
And yet I still do it. Go figure.
