Another way to keep warm is to wear lots of layers. That’s one of the things about cold weather that annoys me. When I’m doing  a long ride on a cold day, what do I do if I start to feel a bit overheated? 

My Camel-Bak pockets don’t have room for storing layers, once I’ve stowed a cable lock; a tube of Chamois Butt’r; and so on. About all I can do is to open the zippers on my jackets.

I’m glad, though, that it’s not going down to freezing tonight. My pipes are wrapped; an exaggerated caution, perhaps; but if we do get a cold snap later, I’m prepared!
