| Great information!! (as always) I do lots too. Like wearing goretex inner shirts, pasting hot patches inside my jacket (actually I use 6! Two big ones in the back, one small one on each side of the front and one small one in each side of my jacket pockets). I also wear neck covers too. Sometimes I even stuff my gloves with small hot patches. But never tried drinking a lot....I'll be afraid to think of all the loo stops I'll need.  But staying warm is a really important topic if I want to ride duirng winter. It's not safe either to ride when your whole body is stiff from being cold!! And I do layer up....sometimes so much that I feel like humpty-dumpty.

| If it gets to the temp where I need to put heat packs in other locations than my gloves, I don't need to ride that bad.

| For those of you who like to stay warm without littering, I recommend toasterz.net The big ones are good for about 90 minutes. My two-year-old daughter loves to use them when we go skating or sledding for a long time.
