What to Wear & Road Tips
Dress in layers you can adjust: start with a thermal base, add a warm mid-layer, and top it with a wind-resistant jacket. A toque, insulated gloves, and a neck gaiter will make the wind much easier to handle. Choose grippy, waterproof boots for frosty sidewalks and evening refreeze. If you’re driving, leave extra stopping room and expect crosswinds on exposed stretches and slick spots after dark.
