I decided to stick with the theme of exercising in cold weather, this time on the bike. I was lucky enough to have John join me for this windy adventure. We put 15 miles behind us in about 45 minutes on Old Sour Lake Road, then turned around to come home….the wind was now directly in our face and we sludged along at 11mph all the way back. It was a great time!!!
My clothing system worked great again: Cycling shorts, cold weather tights, neoprene shoe covers, cold weather base top, synthetic mid layer, windbreaker outerwear, headsweats beanie. Wind chill was at 33 degrees and I never felt it! It is very possible to enjoy the outdoors in extreme conditions with proper clothing systems. John had a great system as well, but without the shoe cover….which I believe he will have by the next ride!
Train hard, train fast, have fun,
Triman
