I was almost too warm this morning. I suffer from cold fingers/toes, so I wear mittens (rei brand work for me) and my thumbs suffered most but not that bad. I think the sun helped. The ride home will be the test. The wicked wool l.l. bean base layer is really wickedly warm!

I was find this morning. I wore wool socks, warm, ugly boots, thermal tights, fleece pants, termal top, fleece shirt, wind proof coat, balaclava, gaiter, scarf. My hands were supper toasty. I wore light fleece gloves under a pair of REI multi purpose gloves.

I skipped the goggles today. I find that if I wear my balaclava up over my eyes I can create a breath powered steam area for my eyes. It's kind gross and moist, but I felt warm.

who rode today? And what equipment do you rely on? (i.e. no fog goggles, goggles that allow enough peripheral vision, best ideas for keeping the digits warm) We'll see how my "equipment" does today.

@olloyd1: Oh No! Hope you didn't get to beat up. I took today off, those 30-50 mph gusts were a bit much for me

totally ate it on the way home. By the time I realized the front wheel had no traction, the wicked little beast dumped me. AHHH I love the wintertime.

Holy cow is Chicago Bike Winter beating the bejeezus out of Madison, Milwaukee and St. Louis in the calendar items! Way to go windy city. What's up Wisconsin? St. Louis?

Pogies question:
Does anyone here use pogies in the winter? If so, is theft a concern? I am thinking of them for my older son who rides to and from school. He is always losing his gloves and I need a solution.
