GTD ‘20 Cold Weather Acclimation

When cold weather visits north central Florida I have to take advantage of the opportunity to test out the cold weather gear I will be wearing during my “Go The Distance ‘20” Ride in May.

Yesterday the daytime temperature was 48F and last night when I rode home it was 36F.  All the gear I had on kept me comfortable day and night.  The only piece of gear I was missing last night was my balaclava, the wind was biting my face all the way home.

My gear consisted of:
-Thermals
-Warm socks
-Touring shorts
-T-Shirt
-Fleece
-Wool headband
-Stocking cap
-Warm gloves

I think this gear will work perfectly as I cycle thru Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana & Michigan May 17 - June 1.
