Upper:
Merino tank, merino t-shirt, Icebreaker Bodyfit 260 long sleeve, Ibex climawool shell. Should have left off the Icebreaker and just went with armwarmers which I still would have had to remove for the second half of the ride but they would have been easier to stuff into a pocket.
Hands:
Nike wind-proof cycling gloves to start, regular long finger cycling gloves for the second half. These were perfect.
Lower:
Ibex wool boxers under Ibex wool cycling shorts with midweight tights. This combination was also perfect.
Feet:
Wool socks with Lake Winter boots. Perfect at the start but a bit warm for the second half though I would do this again since I don’t think regular cycling shoes with covers would have been enough for the first half.
Head:
Light balaclava for the first half under my regular helmet with a helmet cover. This was also perfect.
Riding pace:
I’m guessing a 16-18 mph average for about 35 miles with a very long coffee stop in the middle. It wasn’t a ding around ride but there were no real hill hammering or sprints either. I was on my commuter, the Surly Karate Monkey.
