Maybe this week i must use more expensive foil... :whistling:. I am going to try hand warmers from cape union mart. Apparently you can stick them in your shoes too. http://www.capeunion...and-warmer-pair

 

Heehee

And also fleeced booties

I normally use 2 pairs of socks too one thin and then a normal pair. Then a plastic packet the middle to cover the front part of your foot. Works well for me.

 

For my hands I use latex underneath my cycling gloves... this can get too hot for longer rides but keeps them warm for the start :)

 

I only do this when the temp is below 10... Over 10 seems warm enough for summer gear :whistling:

Myself and @ReeceRower went up Du Toits and over to Worcester yesterday morning and the snow is really low down on the slopes and can definitely be felt in the air!

Amazing

And the stages were far longer and the roads often just gravel

We are riding to Franschoek via Stellenbosch this weekend. Start time is 7:15 from Soneike mall/Bottelary traffic light. Pickup point at Stellenbosch. Let me know if you are going to join. We are also needing a DC rider or two for our team and looking for people that can join weekend rides.

Tried this last week. Didnt help much and when I took of my shoes the foil was broken into many pieces.

 

Maybe try heavy duty foil ;)
