It's a learning process really
True, I never realized that staying cool would be an issue but I'm learning that after keeping your face and hands war that you're just fine.

extreme care around ice is the key
I've done a lot of dirtbiking into the fall and have had that front tire slip out on me a few times, extremely dangerous. A lot of ice in the shade of those foothills.

I thought that studs were a must but I've talked to a few people who don't even bother. Plus 80% of my ride is along the river pathway which stays clear of snow/ice most of the time.

Will look into goggles, I imagine that they will fog up less than the shades I'm using now.

Have a headlamp that straps to my helmet but completely forgot about a taillight. On the shopping list.
