Oh yeah, and I hit sleet on the way home. Always ride. I need to re-read your "layers" post, and take notes. I have a few things, but nothing really comprehensive. Really don't want to give up on riding because it's TOO cold (cough:<50F:cough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few things, but nothing really comprehensive. Really don't want to give up on riding because it's TOO cold (cough:<50F:cough) Rode during the last cold snap here, was on the bike in the low 30's. To me it is all about the top half of the body (other than feet). I can wear shorts most of the time in Austin. Wool socks, heavy gloves and a liner under my helmet cover the extremities. I wear a sleeveless base, a long sleeved base and a jersey. Between 45 and 55 I also wear a sleeveless windbreaker vest with a vented back. Between 30 and 45 I wear a windbreaker (sleeved). If the weather is really cold (i.e. lower 30's) I will switch to ski gloves and a balaclava on my head. It is never too cold to ride in Austin. I used to ride to work in Chicago when it was below zero, we have it good here and we should not use weather as an excuse not to ride. Best of all, you have the trails to yourself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I just tested my cold weather gear again at the Dragon Slayer and I'm completely impressed: Carnac Polyamide short sleeve base layer shirt over bibs, under jersey. Swiftwick arm warmers (though I need to find some that are larger size. I don't have popeye forearms but these sure fit very tight) OnOne merino wool beanie This time I went without my OnOne neck gaither...I thought I'd forgotten it but I actually had it. I really missed it at the start but not much after that. Louis Garneau knee warmers (they basically cover from under the shorts almost all the way to the socks) Louis Garneau gloves (thicker, but breathable). Specialized MTB short-sleeve shirt over base layer shirt. Planet-X wool socks (these are very warm. I cannot use these on warm days like I can the Switfwicks. That's it. No jacket, no windbreaker, no balaclava, no lobster claws. Temps at stating were right around freezing. I know my windshield had ice, and the grass on the trail was frosted. I was cold on the ride down to the start from my car to registration, then on the ride back up to the first trailhead, but after that I warmed up and did not have any issues being cold. For sure I knew if I had a mechanical and wasn't able to burn the calories riding, I may be in trouble but everything worked out fine. I did sweat enough to soak the base layer stuff but that stayed warm nonetheless just like you expect any wool stuff to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbetzing Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Went for a “quick” ride on suburban ninja on my lunch break. Ended up getting lost AF and wandering around for an hour and a half. Almost missed a conference call. My Strava map cracked me up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
