Start slowly so that your body, and especially your joints and muscles can warm up. Your body works better when it is warm.
-
Remember to replace lost fluids-you will get thirsty in the cold. If it's cold enough for a water bottle to freeze try a water bag between layers on your back.
-
Leave extra time so that you can ride slower.
-
For long rides start off feeling a little cool-you will warm up in no time.
-
Experiment with different clothing combinations and record the daily temperature-that way you will know what works for you.
Too hot? Try cycling slower. Too cold? Try cycling faster, wear a warmer hat, or add another layer.
