divernick Posted June 11, 2013 Share Was a lekker ride i this morning, no wind and a nice sunrise. I learned that I need to do something to keep my toes warmer, felt like they were gonna fall off! My GPS said I had an average of 1degree C on my ride today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratus5 Posted June 11, 2013 Share I got a pair of First Ascent shoe covers from Sportsmans Warehouse. I got them originally to keep my feet dry, but found they really help to keep the feet toasty on a cold morning. Can recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Posted June 11, 2013 Share Speaking of warm stuff . i got me one of these at outdoor warehouse R 150 , seemless balacava super snug and super warm . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratus5 Posted June 11, 2013 Share This morning was very very "fresh" on the bike ... time to whip out the thick gloves! Thick gloves are a pain coming home when its warmer. I wear a pair of light polar fleece gloves over my cycling gloves and they work really well, with the added advantage they are easy to take off when it warms up.

Great idea- I've been lugging two pairs of gloves around. What a pain. Same could be said of legwear: in the morning it's too cold for shorts, and in the afternoon it's too warm for longs...

mazambaan Posted June 16, 2013 Share For fingers I've found a pair of thin gloves ("Thinsulate?") under the usual gloves (even short fingered ones) works quite well and they roll up very small. Cheap from S/warehouse too but easy to lose in the washing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
