thank you all.
riding below the zero is fine, really, i wasn't even wired up.
the body, legs and arms are always fine, as long as you wrap up well (under layers of antifreeze undergloves / socks / knees - lycra winter body 'pro-skin', etc).
the hands are the most critical bits: having chosen not to have any electrical device, I had put inside my gloves those hand-warmers sachets you can buy at outdoors shops, which worked well, they last for about 7 hours.
still, the finger tips get cold every one or two hours, but riding slow and stopping frequently for hot drinks is the key... taking it easy in general, enjoying the views and avoiding highways
