I left at 7:20 AM, as it got light enough to go to work. The afternoon ride was at 3:30, and it wasn't uncomfortable at all.
I hope I can find the PI glove. I don't know if I dropped it in the house, the garage, or if it fell behind something, etc. They're brand new, and I'm kind of torqued that I made a bone-headed move like that. Anyway, if I can't find it, I'll probably be at EMS/Hudson Trail/Dick's to get a pair of mitts this weekend.
The 2nd pair of socks is a good idea - I've got the Sealskinz, which are neoprene, and do a good job of holding heat in....but you definitely need a wicking inner (e.g. wool) layer.
I've got a pair of Answer Kashmir's on order, but they won't arrive until next week.
