In Wisconsin I’ve been riding in the low 30’s, but they just salted the roads, so I’m done till spring.
Now it’s time to peg the boredom meter, on the indoor trainer.
Check out Immersion Research, they make some great gear for cold weather kayaking, specifically their thickskin shirts and pants. Use that for a base layer, with some Smartwool ski socks, lightweight fleece hat under the helmet, and fleece gloves, at the coldest it gets in SF, you’ll be toasty.
Frankly, in your coldest weather I’d still be wearing shorts, but it’s all relative, I used to live in CA, froze my ass off first year in Wisconsin.
