I wear Rivendell's not-tights under ventile gators with MUSA knickers or
ventile knickers. I'll wear wool calf warmers also as needed, plus socks
that come up half way on my calves. I find the nylon MUSA knickers block
the wind fairly well (not like the ventile though).
In my experience, the
Regarding footwear, I know most are not a fan of clipless shoes, but I
would suggest at least looking at a pair of 45NTH Wolvhammer boots. They
have 100% changed winter cycling for me. I went on a 12 hour ride last year
in February, -25C, and never had cold toes. Not even cool toes. They have a
Thank's Mark. Those look great, except for my desire to not use synthetics
as well as I will never grasp why people doing things outdoors need to wear
high heals. Is everyone trying to attract the deer, elk, and bears?
Sardonic grin.

Some of that traffic you met may be there for elk season.
A friend sent me a shot of the snow front coming over the divide at sunset
with the Papoose burn and Trout Mountain in the background the other
afternoon. They are at Spar City, Mineral County,west of Creede, on foot in
the Weminuche
Tony, it's all about the clothing and breathing through your nose, never
your mouth (sinuses do a wonderful job warming/humidifying frigid air.)
Andy, spot on. Hunting is common north of the reservoir I was heading for.
It won't be long before we get a near constant line of cars hunting
My problem in winter riding is:
Thighs and knees seem to complain after 30-50 miles. I don't know what to
use for windstopping so the old legs will stay protected and warm.
Thinking of windstopper tights, but I feel there must be a cheaper
home-made, reliable remedy for this besides
My daughters loved their baskets like your wife has, David. Encourage your
wife to use a different system for carrying things upfront if she gets the
urge to go bikepacking. My lassies had to give up their baskets for bird
nests.

She loves her basket! It's a Peterboro, and really nice. I'm not a huge fan
of the attachment system, and toy with the idea of changing it around some.
Really needs to be attached to a rack and not just dangling:

Patrick - I recall trying something like a bag between by sock and my shoe
some 40 years ago thinking it would isolate the wind and cold from the
skin. Your test might wind up differently, but in my case I wound up
freezing my feet worse than if I'd had on just plain socks; the plastic

Och! It's -6˚F this morning and my brain's too buggered to head out (the
threshold for venturing out in extremes is higher than when it's warmer).
Feel free to ask me any questions on the how or why with floor living or
shoes, or other nutty things I do, Paul (off list is best).
With abandon,
Patrick,
Great photo's, love that head tube on the Hunq. I'm bracing for the cold
but nothing like what you deal w/ on a regular basis. Keep sharing these
great photo's and stories!

I t wasn't quite as cold here.It was a balmy 9' at our house.I was
wondering if you'd go out.
I bought a pair of these I took them on a hike at 15' and my feet were
fine. Haven't tried them on the bike yet.
Something to try:

Thanks, Jon. I wore boiled wool socks, and won't do synthetic. The issue
was the winds on the descent. 30+ mph. And my over shoes, which are thin
leather running minimalist shoes with holes for breathability. The answer
is mukluks, which I tried last year, but they rotted out within a month due
Can you keep the mukluks in the freezer?
Like in a 'footwear drawer?'
