With the onset of Autumn and the racing season coming to a close the attention of the professionals turns to training. After a few weeks of rest, they’re soon back on their bikes, embarking on long training rides to build their base km’s ahead of the new season. Perhaps putting volume of training aside, it’s a similar story for us non-competitive folk, too. The Autumn season paints our well-known local routes in a new, softer light, our bodies adapt to cooler temperatures and our minds race to the snug post-ride warmth that only an open fireplace can provide Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Girona is the perfect location for these long training rides – nicknamed ‘the pros backyard’ – thanks to a selection of idilic routes ridden religiously by over 100 resident professionals. We asked Girona local man and CHPT3 ambassador, Ramon Lozano to head out and ride his favourite Autumn routes, sharing them with us as he went. This, his first and much-loved training ride, is famed for its traffic-free roads which makes for the calmest start possible to the cooler seasons.

Alpha RoS Jacket, Canada, castelli Canada, Castelli cycling, Eastern Township, fall, Fall rides, Ryder Hesjedal, Video -

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 ...

LIGHTWEIGHT, BUT HEAVY ON PROTECTION This jersey opens up an entirely new category of cool weather clothing. All the windproof fabrics are amazing at keeping the cold out, but even with the best of them you get wet inside when the intensity picks up. We set out to make a jersey that’s significantly warmer than your traditional thermal jersey but that can maintain some airflow to prevent perspiration buildup on the inside.

OFF-SEASON, TIME FOR FOCUS AND BASE BUILDING The season is long: it extends from February to the middle of October. There are only three quiet months left for race-weary riders to enjoy the quiet company of their own breathing or 
the joking banter of a stress-free training ride. This is the time to put in the work to make next season your best yet.   VICTORIES ARE EARNED WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING Victories are earned when no one is watching, and that means putting in the training no matter what weather you’re stuck with. Castelli’s singular goal is to make you faster. Our cold-weather collection lets you dress for any conditions, from extreme cold and rain right up till you’re back in your shorts and jersey next summer. The Best of Winter’16 is about never missing a day due to bad weather. Discover More: Castelli-cycling.com
