- -5C this morning, so I decided it was time to put on my medium-cold 
weather cycling gear.

(this means a fleece, neckwarmer and helmet liner in addition to my 
normal shell... the long underwear goes on at about -2, the shell at 
about +4... at about -8 or -9 I put on my super duper long underwear)

and of course I learn, as I always do around this time of year, the 
unalterable law of cold weather cycling

the problem is not getting cold, it's getting hot

2 miles into my ride I had to stop at the side of the road and strip 
off, steaming like a cow.

I delayered the fleece but kept the neckwarmer and helmet liner and all 
was well.
