Was on the fence about going out today, grey skies and a high of 1C, but in the end decided to bundle up and go out for a 118km Z2 ride just shy of four hours, 220W avg, on a loop I did twice in November, mostly flat and a lot of bike paths and quieter roads. I need to make a little sign in my bike cave that says, “dress right, and even below freezing you’re nice and toasty.” Sleeveless base layer, merino long sleeve base layer, windproof jersey, regular bibs along with an old pair of PI long bib tights that I took the pad out long ago. Neoprene overshoes, thin gloves with a pair of lobster-ish (pinky and ring finger are combined) over-gloves. Feet and hands were still warm when I got home. The gloves make it a pain to get the phone out for pictures, so it’s just some screen grabs from the Cycliq.
