Ridiculously windy here again today, supposed to get worse tonight. Pizza guy invited me and one other on a ride for pizza tomorrow and hopefully the wind won't be too bad on the route.
Here he is waiting for me on a ride in the mountains we will ride the base of tomorrow.

I tried the tights over shorts (not bib tights) and the tights wouldn't stay up no matter what. I also have that problem with most leg warmers but I found some that have grippers on the outside and they stay up while riding but will fall if I walk around a bit. I guess my guads aren't massive enough.

Water expands as it freezes. I thought everyone knew that basic fact. Even the water in the soil at ground level.

Yeah, I pull the tops of the knee warmers up at least 3/4 of the way up my thighs, then pull the bibs on over that. Friction between the bibs and the warmers keeps them in place, but that may be specific to the combination of Louis Garneau bibs and Pearl Izumi warmers. I have a pair of bibs I bought on sale when Performance was closing all their stores. The pad is extra-thick over (under?) the sit bones, which is a mild annoyance because I can't really feel where I am on the saddle. I tried them under tights, and spent the WHOLE RIDE finding myself sliding forward in the saddle and having to skooch back. Another pair of bibs, same tights, no problem. Weird.
Yesterday it was low 50s, but sunny, with light winds, and I saw riders everything from short sleeve jerseys and shorts to full jackets, tights and booties. I wore a thin base layer, long sleeve jersey, andgillet vest over bibs and knee warmers, wool socks and toe booties, and full finger gloves. I was comfy the whole ride - at one point I tried taking off my vest, since it was sunny, but half a mile later I put it on again.

My idea of a hilly day is 1,000 of gain in 20 miles. Pretty flat here.

Ended up ordering the PI bib knickers since I could get them through REI. There is a store close to us so it makes for an easy return if they don't fit the bill.
Yesterday, it was in the low to mid-50s with 15 mph winds. Since we went to the MUP, it was mostly shaded. Knees could have used a bit of warmth, so that was what I was after. May pick up a pair of knee warmers as well, but a lot of reviews have people complaining about them not staying up.
As for really cold temps, well if it's 35 or less out I'm not likely riding since a day or two later it will be 60 or 70.

Not everybody is into hill challenges, I’ve always avoided them as much as possible.
