Today I wore merino long pants underwear plus corduroy pants, merino t-shirt plus a dress shirt, a tubular scarf over my ears and jaw, a hat, and heavy lobster claw mittens. The starting temperature was about 29°F. I wore summer cycling shoes and an athletic winter jacket. Overall, I was too warm, and I didn't pedal very hard. My mittens are part of the problem. I usually wear mittens that are less warm, but I feared they would not be warm enough. Maybe they would have been better. My toes were cold. I'm not going to try to solve that last problem yet, but I will soon.
