Welcome to BikeRumor Podcast #106 

How to Conquer Cold Weather Cycling and Crush Your Winter Rides

This episode covers cold-weather cycling and how to dress best for success when the temperature drops. Jordan chats with Lani Benson and Matt Kent from Pearl Izumi. We start with the basics of dressing for winter riding and quickly get to the specifics of how to get the most from your gear. 

If the weather near you is getting colder and the trainer is looking more and more tempting, chill out (by grabbing a coffee or snack) and listen to this podcast.

• We start with the laying basics as a refresher and introduction for new all-year-round outdoor cyclists.
• Next, we move into how to build a kit for your type of rider and training needs.
• Then, we move on to mid-layers and shells, gloves, and shoe covers.
• Finally, we wrap up with all the tips and tricks Pearl Izumi learns from working with the best cycling athletes from around the world. 

Lani and Matt have so much information on the technical aspects of winter layering that we could have talked for two hours or more. But don't worry — they'll be back in spring with a special guest!
