A cold north/northwestly wind is forecast, so a windproof gilet/jacket will be useful if you are like me! We (Kajsa) will be riding around 12-13mph average speed so we can tuck in behind her and hope for the best (she is tiny!) (sorry Kajsa!) * Bring a spare layer - one more layer than you think you will need. Stuff it into your saddlepack (e.g. a thin merino wool baselayer / another ultra thin windproof jacket). --- www.strongher.cc
