Behind the Scenes: Fall Riding With Ryder Hesjedal
Canada’s Eastern Townships is a well-known region for his many cycling trails and bike-friendly towns. Surrounded by lakes and the Appalachian mountains, fall is without a doubt the best season to ride your bike. The light and the colours create a mesmerizing set for all cycling enthusiasts seeking for great rides. Fall cycling also rhyme with changing temperatures. And by changing temperatures we obviously mean sun, cold and rain (sometimes at the same time). The question burning on all lips when it comes to clothing during this kind of temperature is: What should I wear?
“The challenge of fall riding is the way you will dress, when we started early morning it was 3 degrees sunny and windy, then it warmth up and at the end we got some rain. Ryder had really the chance to experience the amazing range of use of the RoS jacket and Sorpasso Wind Bibtight”, Pierre Perron, Castelli Canada General manager.
Castelli Canada headquarters received Ryder Hesjedal, a long-time partner of Castelli, in the Eastern Townships and went out on the bike to put to test the Alpha RoS Jacket on the field. Pierre Perron, General manager of Castelli Canada, explains the challenge of choosing the right piece of clothing for the right temperature: “The challenge of fall riding is the way you will dress, when we started early morning it was 3 degrees sunny and windy, then it warmth up and at the end we got some rain. Ryder had really the chance to experience the amazing range of use of the RoS jacket and Sorpasso Wind Bibtight”.
Having only one jacket for different range of temperature is now possible with the Alpha RoS Jacket engineered to provide the insulation and breathability for cold and dry rides with effective waterproofing for those rainy days.
“Winter is now on its way and colder rides will never be the same with this jacket. Just have to add the right base layer and you’re good to go”, Pierre Perron, Castelli Canada General manager.
