I just got back from going to hamilton and back, but my computer was set upside down so it thought the speed was cadence (it would have thought the cadence was speed as well, but I don't have the cadence sensor attached), so it said I was pedalling at around 180 rpm average, travelling at 0kph. As such I don't really know the distance. I thought I was going to die a few times going west on lakeshore with the headwind. When I crossed the humber bridge on the way over I was incredibly close to getting blown off my wheels into the railing! I got a few nasty leaves thrown in my face too which kind of hurt!
I think I was pretty well dressed for the weather, but I was sweating quite a bit on my upper body wearing a sleeveless bike jersey and thin arm warmers, a long-sleeved bike jersey, and my MEC jacket. My legs were fine with my lined winter bike pants and knee warmers, but my feet were definitely freezing in summer socks and sidis... Next time I'll need to wear warmer socks or get some booties as my sidis are on the small side as it is. I got some numbness in my hands so I think I have to play with the saddle angle a bit. I noticed when riding my geared bike today that my legs would always get tired before I got the cardio going (in fact I was having trouble getting the heart rate up). Its funny because on my fixie its the opposite; my heart is racing and I'm panting like crazy when I get to work in the morning.
Anyone have anything good to say about full on winter cycling tights?
