Good plan. I was surprised at how warm pogies are. I found that I had more of a problem with hands that were too hot than being too cold.

On a road bike, with your hands being out in the wind 100% of the time, it's pretty hard to keep your hands warm. Any little air infiltration will lead to cold hands. It's impossible with so much stitching on gloves to make it airtight to the level that there is no air intrusion. Pogies solve all that to the point where you probably will be able to ride with summer half gloves much of the time.
