David Schueller doesn’t let below zero temps ruin his fun. In fact, he’s been biking on Lake Minnetonka in this weather.
How does he dress for it? Layers:
David’s spin: Two days at 20 below
And what do I wear on my feet?
In order: neoprene socks, mountain bike shoes with Time cleats, time trial shoe covers, medium weight booties, another pair medium weight booties, thick-ply paper towels wrapped around them, freezer bags and thick neoprene booties.
See? No big deal.

Jeez.
9 layers? Really??
I wear two layers: one pair of wool socks. one pair of some random waterproof hiking shoes from REI.
Maybe the waterproofing also made them mostly windproof, because my feet are never cold.
Yet, I can’t seem to get my hands to stay toasty. I wear a think pair of stretch gloves, my regular padded bike gloves, and some huge O.R. brand mitten shells.
Any suggestions that don’t involve so many layers and/or household storage products? ( :
[...] There you have it a very long look at how to survive running in -20 temps! I’d love to hear what you wear out there on the cold days. You can also take a look at Blaine’s Tips for Winter Running Apparel. You can also check out this guy who bike commutes across a frozen lake at 20 below (HT The Deets). [...]
