Tom, for me, they don't have to be quite THAT big for 35°; I sweat in them when it's that warm, so I switch to thinner mittens or insulated work gloves.
Were your hands getting sweaty?

I had a fun commuting day yesterday. It's been warm here, low 40s for the last couple days, but quite windy. It's a bit tricky though, because a bunch of snow melts during the day when it's 40-something, then overnight, it freezes again, so I've got to watch myself.

Even so, I was happy to take my urban commuter eBike, the Aventon Level.2, with its smoother-rolling tires than the eFatty.

I'm going out of my mind reading European regulations at work, I just HAD to get away from my desk, so I went out for a lunchtime ride and stopped at a local comic/toy place, and bought a couple small games. One is a small chess-like game with only three different pieces with different moves, the other is an 8+ player game I haven't looked into much yet.

After that, I continued uptown to my favorite local coffee shop and had a nice lunch before heading back to work. Lunch ride was about 5 miles, commuting was 4.2 with the grocery stop.


Marblehead's Games, Kenosha, WI. A nice little shop.



A couple of fun games. (I hope)



Prosciutto & mozzarella sammich for lunch, and locally made chips.



Grocery stop on the way home: A 12-pack (cans) in the left, head of cabbage + games in the top, and the rest of the ingredients for kielbasa & cabbage in the right. The left pannier JUST fit the 12-pack, but couldn't be zipped shut.
