Hooooooah Readers! How are you? Unfortunately we don't have virtual reality for bike riding, still gotta face the weather.

Passing by to share a quick post on how the weather is in southern Brazil at the moment; cold, windy and humid. Life is kinda busy this week but I do plan to release my weekly Travel Story, it'll be one of those long posts again, full of craziness. Stay tuned for that.

Will I let that stop me? Hell no! The bike will not cycle itself and if I want to keep a good health condition for my upcoming 1600 km bike trip I better get out of bed and go train, no matter what. After all, on the road, you can't choose the weather, he chooses you.

I woke up this morning shaking my skinny legs, it was cold and at first I though I was in Antarctica - Wish I was.

A tip for those willing to cycle when it's cold: Use thermal skins, they make sure your sweat gets out of your body. On top of that you can use a windbreaker to avoid feeling cold by convection. After the first kilometers you'll be warm from the exercise. However, it's important to carry a coat for when you stop; opt for those ones capable of holding your heat.

This all is called 'dressing in layers' and it's the best way to pack ligh and maintain a good heat management, great for any outdoor activity.

So, my training today followed the same old path to the beach and everything went smooth, apart from a lady crossing the bike lane with her car without checking for bikes, forcing me to put into practice the ninja master blaster technic to avoid entering her side window.

HERE IS THE CLASSIC BEACH PHOTO

I'm starting to like the idea of taking photos of the same place throughout the year, it's so cool to compare the difference between seasons. From blue cristal clear skies; to dark cold clouds - Winter is indeed here.

And not only the view changes, but the vibe too; not many people walking/running, closed houses. The beach becomes kinda lonely during the winter.

THIS IS THE WEATHER TODAY

Mín=1°C (freeeeezing). It wouldn't be a problem if we had dry air, but take a look at humidity - 95%. Holly Pepperoni! That combination freezes you to the bones.

You thought Brazil was all about warm weather, beaches and beautiful women. Right? Come enjoy this warm weather with me hahahah.
