monday night riding

Larson Park Trail is completely under water

Night riding at its best

Lloyd road heading towards 23

The winter Monster with extra supplies

I thought about the night ride all day as to how I was going to dress. As the day progressed so did the wind and the drop of the temps. It was blowing snow and the winds were gusting to 40mph. 2 hrs of riding and I was done. Here is a list of winter clothing to tackle these conditions:

Surly Socks

Hydroskins Neoprene socks

Think wool sockguy socks

Long wool socks with toe cut for keeping calves warm

craft wool long johns

craft storm tights

craft wind front turtleneck

secret moisture control device

Louis Garneau Winddry jacket

Outdoor research windstopper facemask

8 dollar wool gloves from farm and fleet

Lake winter boots

Giordana Gamex jacket for vapor barrier between Garneau jacket and undershirt

Oakley Oil drum glasses

This kept me completely warm and away from the way subzero winds. I also used my Pogies on the handlebars
