coldest day yet this season for me...14F. Tried out some new gloves I got from Performance (Neoprene II) - they sucked! Supposed to be windproof and found out about 2 minutes into my ride that they are not at all and my digits were numb about 5 minutes later. 20 minutes later, I was in extreme pain as my digits started to thaw - really bad pain. I think I rode one-handed the whole way in since I was shaking one hand or the other just to keep the blood flowing.

The rest of me was nice and toasty with my nice mix of cheap wicking stuff from Target and my old Army polypro. From what I could remember when I wasn't concentrating on de-thawing my hands, it was a beautiful morning.

Any glove recommendations from you northerners (used to be one in NH but since being down in NC for the past two years I have become soft ?
