Layers
Just one week earlier the temps were in the 70's, this Sunday 27 degrees at ride time. The layers title refers to the clothing that goes into a cold weather ride.
1. three pairs of socks and cycling shoes
2. two pairs of shorts and leg warmers
3. two jerseys and a jacket
4. windproof cycling cap and helmet
The clothing needed for a cold weather ride is so much more time comsuming then the warm weather. People often say "how do you ride in the cold". I always tell them "I love riding" and "if you have the correct clothes it is not bad". The first five minutes is the hardest part! Once you get past that its not so bad.
The ride was in Valley Green. As you can see in the pictures it was a great day. Two hours of single speed riding bliss.
