Minuteman Road Club

Anybody want to join me for 2 loops in Stow on Sat at 7:30.

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.
