For gloves why don't you try Pearl Izumi's new (last year) amfib
waterproof
gloves? They are expensive but beat anything on the market for cold
weather
(I ride down to 25 degrees down here in MEdford) and keep your hands
absolutely bone dry (aside from sweat). For my feet, I wear the amfib
booties with a set of "waterproof" socks from PerformanceBike. No need
for
all that excess stuff weighing my feet down! And my feet never get cold
and
wet. I might mention that this works for the 75-125 mile rides, I am
currently doing. So I am out there for 5-8 hours at a time with comfy cozy
feet and hands. Ellener

I noticed that there are rarely any e-mails addressing racing or training
tips. Aren't there a wheel barrow load full of good racers out there who
would like to share their secrets?
Training in the rain demands a whole set of skills; proper clothing and
it's
advanced layering techniques, fenders with flaps, eye wear concepts, and
glove theory. Let's start off easy. If it looks like it might rain I bring
all 3 pairs of my long fingered gloves with me. I have thin wind stopper
ones, neoprene ones and thinsulate look-like-snowboarding gloves. I don't
know about you but I have a hard time keeping the hands warm on a 3.5 hour
ride in the pouring rain. who has tips?
what about booties? I wear cycling socks, snowboarding socks, shoes, wool
socks as covers over my shoes (thnx D.S.), and then neoprene shoe covers.
my
feet stay warm for almost ever ride except longer rides in constant rain.
anyone got any "warm feet all the time" tips? zippers or velcro..huh??
all sarcasm is accepted and enjoyed.
