Fall Biking Must-Have Gear

Autumn, with its cooler temps and color changes, makes for great biking.

Autumn, with its cooler temps and color changes, makes for great biking. Cool morning temperatures that rise with the sun mean you need gear that peels off easily as you heat up. Here are my essentials, from head to toe, for riding into the season change. Add your regular short sleeve jersey to the mix and you're golden!

  • A thin wool skull cap like the Icebreaker Pocket Hat ($25) that easily fits under your helmet or in your back jersey pocket.
  • Stay visible and cool with a screaming yellow windbreaker with zip-off sleeves. I love riding in my Barrier Convertible Jacket ($100) from Pearl Izumi. It easily converts into a vest and the sleeves fit easily into your back jersey pocket.
  • Ibex makes great arm warmers ($40) that are perfect for layering and peel off easily. These merino wool arm warmers hold their shape but don't trap moisture or end up smelly.

Gear Review: Icebreaker GT260 Rapid Leggings

When it comes to working out or playing on the weekends, I'm an outdoors girl. Where I live, it never gets too cold during the Winter, but in Tahoe or Yosemite — my weekend getaway spots — it can be downright frigid. That's why I was stoked to try out a new pair of leggings on my Valentine's Day climbing trip.

Rock climbing when you're cold is not fun. It can be really difficult to get through a climb when your joints lock up or you have tight muscles because of chilly weather conditions, but you don't want to weigh yourself down with heavy clothes either. Keeping warm was really important to me since Yosemite was hit with some major snowfall in the last few weeks. As is the case with most Winter sports, layering is key. The GT260 Rapid Leggings ($78) that Icebreaker sent my way looked like they would be exactly what I needed.
