The battle of Keeping Warm/Cool/Comfortable
I've ridden a day, not rode for a few days, ridden a day, then not rode for a few days. This has been going on for a few weeks now and its getting silly and its all down to been uncomfortable.

Basically as I've ridden in I've thought jeeez this is unpleasant I'm freezing!

Today I wore, mtb shoes, sports socks, full legs, upper baselayer, long sleave tshirt, wind breaker over jacket and a neck tube. By the top of the cat 4 (20min into my commute) I had to remove the long sleeve t and neck tube. I remained at a reasonable temp the remainder of the journey but my feet were freezing.

So what do you all use/wear? Do you prefer to set off warm and get hotter as you ride.
Do you set off cold and arrive cold kissed but ok
or like I did today do you ride and derobe as you go?
