I used to ride with someone who never wore gloves in the winter. He reckoned the first hour was the worst, then the body realised it needed to save his fingers and would send more blood to his hands to warm them up. Mentalist.
This was in Scotland btw.
Like the elderly gent in my club who insists you should train without a bidon.
“Train yourself not to need drink”
:-/
Or hold your breath for the whole ride, and train yourself not to need oxygen. Win.
To be fair this is what they teach you at Sandhurst too.
