Two...Here's my set-up for cold-weather riding:<br /><br />Two pairs of socks (both wicking)<br />Thermal tights w/ cycling shorts<br />Sleeveless wicking base layer<br />Short sleeve jersey w/ arm warmers<br />Long sleeve jersey<br />Wind-breaking jacket<br />Short-finger cycling gloves w/ long-finger gloves over the top<br />Wicking alpaca skull cap<br />And a scarf if the wind is particularly biting<br /><br />The gloves I use are Bontrager cycling liners. They're warm enough for most situations, but they're not so bulky that you couldn't pull another pair of gloves over them. I've also used motorcycling/dirt biking gloves, courtesy of a cyclocross buddy. Check out motorcycling stores for gear; they might have some stuff that's just right for you.<br /><br />Or put Red on the trainer and settle in for a long winter.Trihardisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09959976526615399378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566689948017282782.post-44804391761324440272009-12-18T22:15:19.391-05:002009-12-18T22:15:19.391-05:00My bike is hibernating...My bike is hibernating...Cole Walter Mellonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792991151019418800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566689948017282782.post-74026926322952941162009-12-18T16:38:41.883-05:002009-12-18T16:38:41.883-05:00now i really feel bad for not gettin gout in the 8...now i really feel bad for not gettin gout in the 80 degree weather...

I have seemed to work all my layers and parts well except for the hands. I have yet to find gloves that are comfortable and keep my fingers warm while riding.<br />I also find that keeping your lower back and butt well layered and warm makes the ride much more enjoyable and less likely for pain later.Maryland Girl aka Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652760092657170942noreply@blogger.com
