Afternoon Ride

A few pairs of bare knees out there 🤯

My ‘off-season’ is over?

All-road, some rain.

GBL: Prime dirt road season

Clear, 15°C, Feels like 15°C, Humidity 23%, Wind 9kph from N - by 

Kit Notes:

Another perfect night for the Castelli Elemento jacket and Omloop thermal bibs, especially while riding through flooded sectors 3 feet deep! Cold feet, but at least I  realized the Lake MX241 will be particularly suited to wet stuff in warmer weather; they’ll dry fast with their flaps open! 

Effort level was low, I realized I was tired. A little venting was required here and there for the Elemento, but I was completely dry and snug about 25k in, and happy to sit outside for about 30 minutes at the cafe. The insulation in the jacket is so valuable for use like this. Just one thin merino base layer under the Elemento makes things so simple. 

Omloop thermals were paired with DeFeet wool knee warmers, perfect for the conditions. 

Handske wind gloves were ideal, plenty windy out. there.
