He did not really had a yet bike approved outfit for this conditions. Put on ski type gloves. An extra layer of bubble warp around the shoe toes below the shoe cover. And his wind breaking soft-shell ski/outdoor jacket with only one warm base layer.
Actually a total of four riders showed up for the ride today. The outfit was protective from the elements and just warm enough. But not the most comfortable and efficient on the bike he had to find out. However the ride went fairly smooth, no technical issues. Little cold in the face at times as Py did not had a face mask.
On the return one rider had to stop for warming up his fingers at some post office, but he finished the ride little later on his own.
Here is the ride:
