Bike fitness seems to vanish far quicker, and a lot easier, than it was earned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Well it need not be the case &#8211; not this winter. With the tips below, and the use of ever-advancing cycling wear and indoor training technology, this time &#8217;round you might actually rocket out of winter a stronger rider and ready to take on the Bowral Classic on 18\u00a0October\u00a02020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong>Tip 1 &#8211; Invest\u00a0In\u00a0Quality Winter Kit\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8191\" style=\"width: 351px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8191\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingclassics.com.au\/bowral\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Performance-Intermediate-jacket-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"351\" height=\"351\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/strong> <strong>Intermediate Jacket<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Cycling wear has surged ahead over recent years &#8230; there are some sensational products around that are light-weight, thin and comfortable and offer more insulation and efficiency than ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">When dressing for an early morning, cool-weather ride, consider this critical tip. Layer if need be, and dress for your expected temperature 10 to 15 minutes into the ride. It\u2019s no fun being toasty warm as you roll out, then sweating like a pig soon after you start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">When selecting kit remember your extremities &#8211; your head, hands and feet. Headwear such as a thermal\u00a0scull\u00a0cap, cycling cap, or bandana are invaluable as up to 30%of heat is lost through the head. Long or short sleeved base layers along with quality gloves and thermal socks are a must. You know the vents on the base of your cycling shoes? They&#8217;re a Godsend in summer but a curse come winter &#8211; waterproof shoe covers will make precious bike time far more bearable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Champion Systems have a wide range of Bowral Classic-themed gear.

With many of us either working from home or enjoying the positives &amp; negatives of flexible working hours, a ride between say 11am and 3pm is sometimes possible. &#8216;Pro hours&#8217; can be a lot more comfortable than earlier or later in the day &#8211; there&#8217;s generally more light, warmer temperatures, and often much less traffic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9272 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingclassics.com.au\/bowral\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Bowral-2019-2263-2-scaled-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"347\" height=\"260\" \/><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong>Tip 4- Stay Hydrated\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">One very important aspect of training in winter is ensuring correct fluid intake and hydration levels.
