Don't forget the power of acclimating to the cold! Early season 35 degrees often feels colder than mid-late season 5 degrees... It helps intentionally under-dressing (safely of course) a couple times early on, kick-starting the body to get used to the cold.
Any recommendations for winter tires in particular? I have a mix of rural paved and gravel roads, often with hardpack instead of clear glaze ice. Any insight as to how the compass/rene herse knobbies compare to thunderburts, or other brands, to studs on the various types of hardpack snow, textured ice, gravel, clear pavement, slushy snot, etc? I've been rolling on old tires for a while, and soon is the time to expand to better tires, allowing more days of winter riding to safely occur. Still on a budget so I only have one wheelset and would like to use one tire for the winter. Mat Driftless Wisconsin where last winter we saw -35 degrees Fahrenheit; beautiful for a hike in the woods, a wee bit too cold for a bike ride... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
