20.8°, wind chill 18°
-O2 Jacket
-polor tech fleece vest
-Champion Duo Dry tshirt
-wind proof Novara pants
-wool socks
-Cannondale bike shoes
-balaclava face mask
-wrist warmers
-Craft Hybrid Weather Gloves
-thick cotton skull cap
Was comfortable. My thumbs did get cold and hurt until I was in my office for a while. My toes were also cold, but overall was comfortable other than in those two areas. Even unzipped the side vents on my jacket to keep my torso from over heating.

-insulated gloves

Legs were cold for about the first three miles, then was fine. My chest started to get warm about seven miles in, but was able to unzip both outer layers, and felt better.

My arms were cold most of the ride, my chest was comfortable but then slightly warm near 9 miles in, but lowered the zipper, and was comfortable.
