  • What's the consensus about cold weather riding then?

    I know there's arguments for and against, but I swear it's a lot tougher physically. Feels like you need to eat a lot more and legs don't have the usual strength. Not sure if it's partly psychological, like the need to eat more being for 'comfort' in the cold and greyness....?

    Can you tell I had a shit one out in the cold today BTW?!?

  • Energy requirements go up massively in cold weather, obviously due to your body having to his heat itself as well as powering the bike.

  • Yeh, I did want to eat more today, partly to cheer me up! I have read about the 'more food for heating' theory, but never know how much extra I need. Evidently a lot more extra than I had today........
