We hope you enjoyed riding this summer, get ready for the winter season.

Adjust your gear for cold weather
Having the right gear is essential for winter cycling. Say goodbye to your summer kit and focus on thermal layers, a waterproof jacket, gloves, and a beanie under your helmet. Layering is key to adjusting your clothing based on the temperature. Don’t forget reflective clothing to stay visible in low-light conditions.

Adapt your training
Winter is the perfect time to mix up your training. You can shorten your rides but increase the intensity. A home trainer is great for bad weather days, while strength training, yoga, or other complementary sports will help keep you in shape.

Prepare your bike
Your bike needs extra attention in winter. Consider using wider tires for better grip, make sure everything is well-lubricated, and install mudguards to avoid water splashes. Regular maintenance will protect your bike from the effects of moisture and cold.

Stay motivated
Staying motivated during winter can be tough, but every ride gets you closer to your goals for the next season. It’s also an opportunity to build mental toughness. And don’t forget: the Cyclotour du Léman awaits you in spring. So, prepare yourself and enjoy every pedal stroke, even in winter!
