Rides yesterday and today were fine, I opted to ride directly home yesterday so I didn't spend much time out there.

Checked out my street this morning to umm and arr over the MTB/roadie choice. I decided the majors would be clear enough for my roadie (ice under the snow was my concern today) - so I walked my road bike out to the main street and went from there. No incidents, felt fine and mostly just wet pavement.

I ride east tonight too, so that'll be interesting. Was definitely very cold this morning, I'm sure we had -8C with feels like -14C when I set out. Other than wet (sweaty and not properly dried) fingertips getting cold, I was fine clothing/heat wise. Went with three layers for wind blockage (as I wasn't wearing my goretex) - lifavest base layer, long sleeved T middle and woollen turtle neck for top (and for the neck/balaclava seam). Two pairs of socks and brought my thermal leggings in case it got colder tonight but my fleece pants were just fine for the ride in.
