    Needed 1 more layer last night. Brrr. For the first time on the commute summer shorts and legwarmers weren't enough. This morning saw a layer of roubaix fleecy goodness make everything toasty :)

    There was ice on the puddles this morning, not sure exactly how cold but enough for me to add a layer and go with 3/4 roubaix bibs, lightweight wicking t-shirt, long sleeve cannondale slice plus a montane featherwieght top over it. Needed the stretch overshoes and gavia gloves too.
    Short hairy legged roadie FCN 4 or 5 in my baggies.

    I had bib tights and a long-sleeved jersey and gloves (and shoes and socks).

    When I'm in long sleeves you know it's cold! :D

    I even have a jacket in case it rains this evening...

    I wore a wicking long sleeve base layer + merino wool jumper and hi-viz jacket today but after about 90 mins I was soaked to the bone and beginning to get pretty cold by 2hrs in I was seriously considering taking the base layer off.

    What did I do wrong?

    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
