Hands, you are shifting, using brakes, it is easy to think about what conditions your hands are in so it is pretty easy to notice if your hands are getting into trouble. But feet, they are harder to really know what is going on down there when you are not used to dealing with cold weather. You should review the signs of frostbite ahead of time in case that becomes a concern.
There have been a few times when I put on my rain pants even though conditions were dry because the rain pants cut the wind and helped keep my feet warmer.
Do you have an insulated ear band or thin stocking cap that will fit under your helmet suspension?
Good luck.
