Dress in layers, and make sure you where at least a nylon balaclava. Make sure your sleeves are tucked into your gloves to keep from getting frostbite on your wrists. Do you have heated visors for your helmets? If not and you need to ride with your visor up a little, make sure you are covered from the nose down. Are you planning on wearing bibs? I usually wear my snowmobile gear when I ride and it is below 40 degrees. It will be a little easier for you was an RT has better wind protection. I apologize if it seems like I am preaching, or telling you things you already know. I just wanna help to make sure your trip is fun and safe.

All good advice but you need to expand on the "at least" riding butt naked with just a nylon balaclava your going to freeze.

My "at least" would include socks, underwear, pants, sweater, coat, gloves, boots and the balaclava...... :roflblack:

You forgot the 2 bottles of 3 Buck Chuck, from your local Trader Joe's. They would keep you warm too eh?:ohyea:
