Sure, and maybe you have a high metabolism that provides more heat. I would ask you, did you end at a nice dry room? We can handle much more if we know at the end of the day a warm room is waiting. We have biked through blizzards knowing that. Again, the additional weight of lightweight rain pants is nothing in the face of ones well-being on tour.
