Though, I’ve come across another rider wearing the exact same shoes without any protective/thermal covers and decided perhaps I should HTFU.
It beats fake miles though.
lol I rode Fri morning at 5am. Forecast said 47F but Ave temp for our 2hr ride was 36F and that includes the 72F starting temp from inside my house.
I was underdressed with just a midweight long sleeve jersey, wind vest, shorts with thermal tights over top, wool socks, toe covers and long fingered gloves. Post ride Coffee was especially welcome.
