question for the bikers and cold weather inhabitants

I think you're referring to bear's sissy comment about his comforter being the appropriate gear below that temperature.

The thread's in the Gear forum and it's about running. 

Sorry I can't find that thread either.  But I can still offer my own opinion on what to wear.  But like anything, each person is different and has different tolerances.

In Temps below 20f I wear...
-Two Balaclava's over my head and face.
-Two long sleeve jerseys
-Winter Jacket (mid-weight)
-Bike shorts
-Two pair of tights
-Winter weight shoe covers

In temps between 20f and 40f I wear...
-One jersey
-Winter jacket (mid-weight)
-Bike Shorts
-One pair of tights
-Toe covers

Does that help?

PS.  I forgot to add full finger gloves on any cool day.

This (http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=58691&start=1&posts=18  is the thread maramdaddy was referring to, it was on running wear, and my comments were

40-50->Long-sleeve coolmax and shorts

30-40->Layered long-sleeve over short-sleeve, or two long-sleeves

20-30->UnderArmor cold-gear under another LS, maybe a cottonsweatshirt on top until I get started. Lower part of this range, or if it's windy, i'll wear running tights.

below 20-> Outer layer is the comforter on my bed 'cause that's where I'm staying.

Key is to layer, and dress as if it's 10-15 degrees warmer, which is how it will feel when you get warmed up.

thanks bear. its still not the correct thread but thanks.

btw i dreamt i met you last night. is that odd?

Not really, I'm sure many BTers on both sides the pond dream of meeting me. But I'm only one person, my time  is limited....

Depends. What did you eat before you went to bed?

let's just say no cheese was involved....yes i must be odd.

anyhow - any luck on finding this thread?
