Today was Cross-Training so I decided to take a couple of hours off from work this morning and ride. It was 43 degrees when I started and 55 when I finished. I've bought leg and arm sleeves, a dry fit hood, cold weather riding gloves and shoe covers for riding in conditions like this. I put everything on and went out but even with all of this on I still got cold. My body, head and hands weren't too bad but when I finished my ride my feet were completely white. It felt like I was walking on stubs and my wife said my feet felt like an ice pack when she touched them. This is going to be a problem if the weather is below 40 at any of my upcoming races. At my last race it was 42 degrees and almost unbearable, my feet were numb at the end of that race too.

But because you are warm, and not hot or cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.

The shoe covers help some, but not all the time. When you are fast like you are, there is just too much wind chill going on.... nice ride

Nice ride. So I guess according to that scripture it was a good thing your feet were cold?

From SlowJoe on Sat, Nov 19, 2011 at 11:46:21 from 75.109.104.60

Yeah, going that fast I guess you create your own 20 mph wind and the lower biking HR doesn't warm you up as much. Sounds brutal. But nice riding!

Winter cycling is tough, good job! Experiment with some different socks maybe ... and try wiggling your toes when coasting ... lol. Oh wait, you are probably not coasting much @ 19-20 mph! :)

I think 43-55 would be perfect running temps for me. That would make for warm running in Utah! Sorry about your feet! I have heard that Raynaud's disease is painful. I hope that Texas has a warm winter for you this year!

From Dan on Sat, Nov 19, 2011 at 23:28:19 from 24.209.83.20

Great for running... cold biking! Good job, nice to see how consistently active you have been!

Rye,

I think I'm going to put hand warmers in the shoe covers next time :-)

Flat,

I'm thinking hot would actually be better...like on fire!

Joe,

All I can say is Burrrrr!

JG,

I think my toes froze solid...they wouldn't move :-(

Dan,

It's been hard lately and I think with the holidays it's going to get even harder.
