21/14 ('real feel') this AM. Wore a base layer, shorts, tights, LS jersey and a wind proof shell. My core was warm enough, although it felt cool in the wind. Wore a balaclava for the first time - it's prety light weight, and could have been warmer, but my ears/chin were warm enough. I had it over my mouth to start, but that was too bothersome. I just put on more Chapstick and pushed on.

I don't have my Answer Kashmirs yet, so I wore SmartWool socks, sealskins under my MTB shoes and Gator neoprene shells on top. Feet were a little cool, but not uncomfortable.

I can't figure out the glove situation to save my life. The PI shells/polypro liners were too cold, so I got a pair of PI lobster gloves......and couldn't find one of them this morning. Damn! I needed to leave (or bail and drive), so I grabbed a pair of sealskinz gloves and put them in my PI shells....it was painful. I even had to stop at a gas station to warm my hands about 45 minutes into the ride. Since it'll be warmer on the ride home, I'll be OK, but I've GOT to fix the glove situation......
