Biking in 20F

The Wintersilks are a win, and made my legs tolerable, but maybe I was just distracted by the mind numbing cold as the wind whistled through my nice airy helmet. My dad wears a ski helmet when biking in the winter, and I think I’ll look into that. He mentioned something about gluing a face plate onto it (I think it was something to go over his glasses somehow) but I think I’ll look into standard goggles. Heavier gloves will also be called for.

The balaclava would help there as well.
