Man, you guys from the frozen north... I wanted to ride today, high 24° but I dragged a deer out of the woods last night after dark and had to deal with that today. So maybe I'll ride tomorrow. I've only ridden down around 30° thus far this winter, tomorrow's high is supposed to be low 20's. Cold like this all week is the prediction. Heck our crazy governor declared a state of emergency. Granted this is the Deep South but it isn't unheard of to have a cold snap. It IS winter after all.
You guys deal with big negative numbers all winter long and with snow. Crazy! People shouldn't live in those conditions!!
So far a base layer of merino wool with some tights over that and regular jersey, with either a wind breaker jacket or I also have a soft shell I wear. That's been sufficient so far. I am a big fan of merino base layers though. My weak link is toes. I have some larger shoes I can wear some wool hunting socks and just got some neoprene toe warmers to try out.
