“There is no such thing as poor weather, just poor clothing choices”

the experienced randonneur

Audax often involves long hours of riding and the temperature can vary considerably during that time. In summer, the on-road temperatures are typically hotter than the maximum forecast temperature. In Spring / Autumn the evenings can be cold. In addition, wind chill, proximity to water and local conditions all impact the choice of clothing. The following are some generalised recommendations.

• Wear layers to provide options to take off an outer layer if it gets too hot, or add another layer if it gets too cold
• Lycra and merino wool mix are popular cloths for cycling tops.
