30-32degF; wind chill 22-27
32 miles non stop

Head: ear warmers and thick balaclava; Helmet, thin helmet cover;

Torso: Thin Duofold polyester long sleeve base layer which has full turtleneck; Trek med thickness jersey wind protected in chest only

Legs: pair thin Duofold undershorts; Med thickness Pearl tights;

Feet: Smartwool socks x2 pair, chemical toe heaters inside under toes, Sidi Genius Mega's (2 sizes large), hand heaters outside shoe above toes and under heel; 2 pairs toe covers, 1 pair med weight full booties over that

Hands: Outdoor Research mitts

Result: Everything felt just about right. Upper body a little sweaty. Hands were actually too warm; got sweaty; however I guess the mitts breathed enough to keep the sweat from freezing b/c hands stayed very warm! Feet a little cool toward end of ride.
