Did my first sub freezing commute today WoHoo!! Had been dabbling in snow and cold on shorter rides after work to get a feel of things. Finally took the plunge this morning. 17F w/a 6F winchill supposedly. Checked the wind direction as NNW. Don't ask me how it was in my face on a 16M trip due South. Had 2 light poly layers, a fleece vest and Fleece Windstopper? light jacket. Perfectly warm on core. Just a baseballcap under my helmet. Actually wet with sweat when done. Cold weather gloves, but fingers got a little cold last 5 M or so. Definately going to shop for some mittens. Toes a little cold with insulated hiking boots... might just suck that up for the most part , or try toe warmers. IPOD was not charged so it felt like a long ride. Beautiful clear sky and a shooting star Not as cold as I feared it might be, not as warm as i hoped it might be- if that makes any sense. Nice ride overall. Christmas is coming... I can't wait to put on my studs, and hope to be able to use them
