Training Ride – Every Sunday at 2 (WRL)

We will be hosting a weekly ride through the weekend before the MS 150.  Although the time is set from 2 – 4, riders can ride longer or shorter as schedules permit. We will ride in groups going various distances and speeds to include everyone. Come enjoy the scenery and have some fun with your KPMG colleagues, clients, and friends. Here is the link to the starting spot/parking lot at Bath House Cultural Center on White Rock Lake. 

Look for other cyclists in the parking lot around this building

With our continued variable weather, here are a few cold weather tips:

  • Layer, layer, layer – Wear a layer of synthetic material closest to your skin, and layer on out from there.  Wear a fleecie close to your body and a water-proof/wind-proof shell for my outermost layer.
  • Don’t Break the Bank – There are some great synthetic material clothes available at Target for very reasonable prices. Also, check sales racks of outlet stores. You don’t have to wear anything fancy, just functional.
  • Fingers and Toes – What you will want to invest in is good cycling gloves and decent winter socks. If you’re biking in weather below 40 degrees F, pick out these items with care. If it’s really cold, I have found that plastic bags OVER my socks do a good job of keeping my feet warmer as they break the wind in shoes designed for natural airconditioning.
  • Head – You’ve gotta wear your helmet, but a nice balaklava under it and a helmet cover on top will keep your head toasty warm.
  •  If you are not on the KPMG team and want to get a group ride in feel free to join. The more the merrier.
