But from these comments it seems that I should also be looking at something to keep my core warmer too. I wear a fleece top over a long sleeve jersey plus a nylon windbreaker. The windbreaker is great for the wind, but it doesn't take long for the sweat to build to uncomfortable levels. I'm a fussy bastard, I know, but any suggestions on the best ways to keep warm and comfortable without getting into a sweaty lather?</p> OK – I’m going to upgrade to some thermal socks and probably get a pair of booties too!

Also have to push your self for the duration of the ride, so your heart rate is up.</p> I wear a Husky jacket on the colder days, Fritz is correct, keep the core warm and your extremities should be fine, granted its not raining or sub 0 temps.
