How am I going to cope?
My toes were freezing until I couldn't feel them!

What sort of shoes do you ride in?
I've got some old Lake MTB shoes, they have a rubberised toe that seems to keep the cold air out fairly well.
My nose gets cold though and I have to give it a blow when I get to work.

I have a pair of Shimano road shoes and velotoze which I've used before, but I much rather the MTB shoes
Will see tonight if I can fit the velotoze over my MTB shoes.

Lots of talk about double socks vs plastic bags vs shoe covers over here:방구 똥 wrote:I'm using Giro Rumble MTB shoes.

The last 2 days I've worn basic compression tights, thickish socks, bibs, Kathmandu thermal long sleeve, thin cotton t-shirt, singlet, lycra jersey, arm warmers. Add my backpack & I start to feel pretty damn bulky!
Even with all of the above, the leggings & warmers are thin so my limbs still get chilly, plus the toes. But it isn't 'too' bad, my beard keeps the face warm
I don't think it gets all that much colder, maybe a couple less degrees..

I put the sleeves on my convertible jacket this morning, as opposed to wearing it as a vest yesterday.Ant_S wrote:I really need some better bike gear, I just can't afford it at the moment haha Everything I have is pretty thin, better for cold summer mornings or spring than winter..

Ant, id recommend some leg warmers instead of compression tights, will keep you warmer and should be comfier then wearing tights under your bibshorts! (imo anyway) Also a decent thermal compression top would be comfier than having the kathmandu long sleeve, cotton t and singlet...but obviously the decent ones wont be too cheap.Ant_S wrote:I really need some better bike gear, I just can't afford it at the moment haha Everything I have is pretty thin, better for cold summer mornings or spring than winter..

Also i find keeping your skin warm makes a big difference in how cold you actually feel, ie gloves/cap/ neck buff go a long way in 'how cold' you actually feel!

more layers don't work if they let the wind through.

I dropped into Big W hoping to grab a cheap thicker under layer type shirt (they sometimes have cheap 'Guy Leech' stuff). They didn't have anything like that but had a black showerproof zip up jacket with elasticated wrists & waist & toggle hood. Inside the body part and hood has thin tracksuit material. Only $25 so I grabbed it and wore it today with my l/s thin thermal & jersey underneath...I had to unzip it most of the way after about 3km!
Recommend it though if you want a cheap black jacket you could also use for other sports/jogging etc

It was quite fresh!
Between Jandabup & Lexia around 6:30am it was mostly 0C but dropped to -1C for a while. And I wasn't the only fool out
