Team
They are calling for 29 degree's and it will warm to 36+ by the end of the ride. I have ridden quite a bit at this temp and it isn't bad. At this point Annie, Dela, Pattie, Gary S and I are meeting. Here are some tips:
The hands and feet are the most difficult to keep warm.
I would recommend booties for the feet and if you have them toe warmer will help
I have extra booties and toe warmers that I will not need. I can bring them
Hands: Light base layer will help. You are better to start with something really warm ( ski gloves are ok ) because you can always switch gloves when you get warm.
I always carry a light pair of gloves to switch to when my hands warm up.
For the Core: Base layer + vest. Arm warmer are good also.
I like to wear 2 pares of medium weight tights.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
New to the club - have done some rides - but have not done anything in Stow with the group - I live in Marlborough. How long will two loops take - where do you start from?
Thanks
