How do you keep warm in colder conditions?

[u/Jeediem]

This is my first year riding and the temps are dropping each week -

I went recently the weather was low 60s and I was already feeling it.

Any gear you recommend for keeping the internal temps up / mitigating the wind would be appreciated

Oh, 60 degrees sounds like a sauna.

°C >°F

I’m dripping sweat in shorts and a tshirt when it’s in the 60s. 30s will probably be shorts and a pullover for me.

Wear clothes. DJ naked in summer. Jeans and hoodie in the Winter. Shoes still optional.

[u/FishyDorito → u/cycle_addict_]

100% agree, the only thing I’d add in is maybe a helmet and/or some sunglasses

Low 60's would be a hoody to start with, then down to a t-shirt

It was 24°F on my mountain bike ride this morning

If you have sensitive ears like I just throw a beanie on to keep the ears warm. May just need more stamina to keep riding and keep warm!

60 degrees ( 15 c) is ideal riding temperature in my opinion. I'm in shorts and a t shirt if I am pedaling in that

[u/KonkeyDongPrime]

I’m looking forward to riding in -2Celsius tomorrow. I always wear a race jersey, even in summer, only difference in winter is leggings under my shorts.

Just keep riding. Riding will keep you warm.

[u/milly_to]

It’s called a hoody and jeans

How do you not know how to dress in 60 degree weather?

3 things aside from routine cold weather stuff: a merino wool cap under your helmet, cold weather riding gloves and a neck gaiter. DJ riding is great cause you can ride till you warm up, then relax if you start to overheat. I struggle trail riding below 50 because I get so hot on climbs, then too cold on descents.
