<p><br></br> Hahaha! Thanks for that, Tom. Luckily I had put my coffee down before I read that! I was looking over the pictures I took and saw Kye Martin holding a microphone... missed my chance for those 15 seconds. :-/</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm rocking a T-shirt, button up shirt and a coat. Same as what I wear when I'm off the bike.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If I overheat, I take it easier riding. If I get cold, I pedal a little harder. Works just fine for me above ~25 degrees.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Below that, I'll add a woolly jumper and some thermal longjohns. Leather work gloves over my regular gloves keep the hands warm and weatherproof.</p>

<p>I've dropped the outer windbreaker pants the last few days. I found anything more than 20 and my legs end up soaked. Just rocking some surplus polypropylene tights, UA cold gear mock t-neck, wicking t-shirt, and a windbreaker jacket topped off with a UA balaclava. Gloves- 3 layers, 2 polypropylene with a fleece top layer.</p>
<p>Oh and some wool socks with my Timberlands....their work boot line is awesome!</p>

<p>I took off some layers, didn't use the balaclava, and still got to Union Station sweating like a pig. Nice temperature... I could get used to this weather!</p>

<p>I wonder how long winter will last this year. The kestrels that nest in the building next to mine were back this weekend and last night I saw a fairly large spider crawling across the outside screen.</p>

Maybe I can sneak a little time in at Sno*Drift up in Michigan next week, but it'll probably be too…</p>
