Yeah, when you're hungry, temp control goes away and it can be very hard to keep warm.
Experience will dictate what you think you can get away with. I wear/carry more and more these days (but still not enough it seems).
More and more tempted by the TransAm but we'll see how I go on PBP this year. Not sure I'm ready to swap my TTing for a career in solo adventure racing just yet :)

Hit the nail.
It's all about conditions. As example, when I was away 1 day was really nice, but the night was clear and it was around 0 deg all night. Combine that with being tired and it's a bad mixture.
Personal choice and preference really.
When I was away I met a 60 & 67 year old guy riding 140miles a day from Lisbon to Poland (their home), he'd also done RAAM in the previous few years.
You should. I cant see interest in PBP or such now. Riding in a group for a fast time between support controls. If it's not unsupported ultra racing it's not right.
