Mid-October can be cool, with rain and wind certainly possible. Wear layers, some moisture repelling clothes and if rain is forecasted, gloves, toque and even some bags to keep your feet dry during your ride. Of course, it could also be a beautiful fall day with no wind and blazing sunshine so keep an eye on the weather forecast as Ride Day approaches. Remember to have some extra tire tubes available and although there are rest stations along the route,please consider bringing additional snacks if required.
