Good day folks
I spent the first part of my life in South Africa and moved to Canada about 10 years ago. Only managed to get back into riding for about 3 months now. Winters on the Western Seaboard of Canada never bugged me before, but now that I am riding again - ugh! Rain, rain, rain, and temperatures around 5 degrees C (thats about 39 F I think).
Anybody have some advice for me - for instance, what brands / types of weatherproof gear should I get (that won't smother me in heat after 5 minutes training)? I have managed to get at least some of my fitness level back and I REALLY don't want to lose it again - but I find that I start thinking up excuses NOT to go on my daily ride when it is miserable outside (which is going to be my fate for the next 6 months or so...)
All opinions / advice welcome!
