I guess it's a little of both. I hadn't ridden in almost three weeks, so I had kinda forgotten how to dress for the weather.
It was 37 degrees when I headed out the door. I wore three layers on top — polypro, an insulated long-sleeve jersey, and a vest; two layers down below — cycling shorts and heavy tights; smartwool socks with thin shoecovers; lobster mitts and a balaclava. My hands actually ended up a little too warm, as I sweated thru the mitts. And everything else was fine except for my privates. Luckily I had brought an extra pair of gloves, so I stuffed one of them down my shorts. Priceless.
Note to self — windproof front panel!
