From: Berkley, Michigan

Bikes: Commuter(s), MTB(s), bent(s), folder(s) and a road.

Conditions: 19 F; Winds 15-25 mph from the SW; Windchill 0-5 F; Roads packed with 1" snow and ice.

Head: Gortex Helmet cover; Neoprene headband; Scott Ski Goggles; Fleece lined nose cover (don't know what you call it)

Torso: 1st layer Breathable Longsleeve shirt; 2nd layer Sporthill longsleeve 60-40F shirt; 3rd Layer Goretex Shell

Hands: 60-40 F LG Gloves

Legs: 1st layer Thin Jogging pants (Cotton); 2nd layer Gortex Shell

Feet: Cotton Tube Socks; Merrell Chameleon II XCR Gortex Shoes

Goal: This is my weekend morning commute to Einstein Bagels.

Summary: Hands froze. LG's are inadequate for sub freezing weather. Couldn't find my winter gloves. Shoes are new..worked out great. Slight chill in the beginning, but once I got going I was able to generate enough heat to produce a little of a sweat.

This is a fun challenge!

Going out again tomorrow to get some studded tires. Wife thinks I'm krazy.
