Layers

What a palaver getting dressed for a cycle ride during the winter????

I start with a cotton vest, (I know its probably not great, as cotton holds moisture, but it seems to work for me). Next over the top, a long sleeve Lycra close fitting shirt, then a short sleeve loose dri-fit t-shirt, next comes Lycra arm warmers, then long leg Lycra bib pants, over the top Lycra padded racing bib shorts, racing cycle jersey and a wind proof gillet, all topped of with hat, gloves and overshoes.

Having the layers works well for cold days, although after a long cycle ride on Sunday and consuming two bottles of water, getting all those layers off to go to the bathroom is somewhat of a challenge.
