2. Low to Mid-30's is it for me

I've started to like riding in the lower temperatures in some ways more so than a summer day in the 80's. Once I got the hang of moisture control, it seems like I sweat a lot less.

The thing about clipless pedals (I use SPD pedals) is that the pedal is a serious heat sink compared to a platform pedal underneath a rubber sole. Sucks the heat right out of the bottom of the shoe through the cleat. To combat that, I use these guys:



and a shoe cover.

With a balaclava and ski mask, I'm ready to roll.



A helmet cover can also be a good idea.
