OOS MOGA

I’ve done 2.5 hour rides in -10 before factoring wind chill and was toasty for all but the first 5-10 min in that setup. If you’re not cold at the start you’re gonna sweat to death halfway through.

The worst part of the ride is the time between getting out of the car and actually getting on the bike.

Worst part is when you're 2 hrs away and your hands or feet get cold. Bring warmers in case, but don't rely on them.

I am going to proudly take that as a compliment. Jan. going to be 39 in my 20's i was in incredible shape. Last couple years i have realized my health is going to take effort unlike my 20's so picked up mtb and soccer to find activities i enjoy to help ensure i will do rhem

You don’t look over 200 bills ..

I was thinking M. 31 waist by 30 inseam.

I have them in a medium and they fit pretty well. I'm about the same waist but shorter inseam.

Large for me and they look like it was custom tailored. I never need thermos under just some regular bike shorts. Though I were shorts till it's below freezing. Still need to figure out the boots

Toe warmers... I cant ride without them when its cold especially because of clips I think. Those cut outs at the bottom of the clipless shoes really make your toes freeze.
May give flats a go this winter. The 5-10 flats shoes I have looked like it had a bit more insulation.

Go for flats and wear boots. Why freeze

That ride had to be mentally challenging. Back and forth with those conditions

I prolly will give them a go. The 5-10 I have are enduro style so they come up to the ankles. But they are a tight fit... will need to experiment a bit.

it was cold new years day - i ran a 5k in hillsboro, and i remember wearing my boots because it was too cold for sneakers.

I swear by my Magnum Police boots. Great for various conditions.

Reflective insoles are a must if clipless

Do you double up or remove the original insoles?

Any cheap ole reflective insole or do you recommend a particular brand?
