Fall Cycling Tips

With the first weeks of fall behind us and the southern summer a distant memory - remember to FALL BACK as daylight savings time ends Nov 6th @ 2am and enjoy riding with these fall cycling tips:

• Hydrate – cold weather is also dry weather, remember to drink before you are thirsty.
• Shorter Days – be prepared with extra reflectors and a bike light when traveling before dusk.
• Layers – always dress in layers and prepare to remove/add as needed.
• Noggin – Bicycling Magazine offers, “if it’s cold enough to make you wonder if you’ll need a cap, put one in your pocket.”
• Extremities – always wear socks and gloves on as a base layer. Add waterproof overshoes and gloves as needed to keep out the weather.
