Its really not that bad out there guys! Something to block the wind
on the outside, a modest insulating layer and cover up the bear skin
and its really no worse than riding at 20 degrees or 40 degrees.

Mark Clear, resisting the urge to google "heated face warmer"
This product is pretty much the next best thing:

Mine is similar but its a bit smaller, does not cover the ears (my
balaclava or hat do that) and velcros together in back of my head so
its easy to put on and take off when I get too hot. And I often get
too hot in it, I can't wear it above 10 F! You can get it at
Fontanas. There is a similar item available at REI: http://www.rei.com/product/725711
As for goggle fogging, the above type face mask prevents hot air from
fogging the outside of the goggles. Double-lensed goggles help too. I
usually wear glasses but have to take them off when its really cold
because they just fog up under the goggles. So I see better without
them than with them.
Then get some warm mittens or poagies for your hands and nothing will
stop you!
bike winter!
