I rode to work at 4 - 5 a.m. this morning: about 30 degrees, wet roads, slush on the highway in places. Regardless of the amazing skill shown by the rider in the video, I found it necessary to slow to about 40 in the slushy areas; easy on the throttle and speed changes.... I wear an all season jacket, waterproof insulated Carhartt pants, with longjohns and a fleece jacket underneath. The biggest comfort-enhancer is Hippo Hands - I love those things and wish I had used them 20 years ago! I wear light leather gloves in them and my hands stay warm and dry. On really cold days (like this morning) I slip a Little Hottie handwarmer in each glove and my hands are toasty...
