What tough riders! Well done to all those that braved the cold on Saturday 24th March. The thermometer on my car said 7 degrees centigrade at 12.30 and that was without the wind chill factor, which made it feel like 2 degrees although some riders didn’t seem to notice the cold, are they still alive I wonder. For those of you that do feel the cold wear something under your helmet, it doesn’t have to be thick but should ideally cover the ears-10% of your body heat is lost through your head. Wear winter gloves and wear a plastic top or something like it over your thermal layers, this will prevent the wind robbing your thermal clothing of all that warm air and making you cold. Previous
