Bike & Gear - Plzeň>Copenhagen 2023
When I first got into cycling one piece of advise was find a set of bibs buy a few pair. Bontrager Bibs has served me well over the last two years as have many other bontrager and Trekr products. My local Trek dealer has treated me well. Most of my other apparel is Castelli, and I also wear a number of second hand jersey that I have purchased via Ebay, Postmark, ECT. The weather on the spring trip across Czech, Germany, and Denmark was going to be a bit chilly. Mostly in the 50s getting into the low 60s in the sun, so I took my Castelli jackets, long sleeve jersey, Gabba, and leg warmers. I also took my full finger gloves. Most of the time I ride in 80 and 90 degree weather, which I am very used to. I wanted to stay warm.
My Casetlli gear can be purcahsed on Amazon The Trek and Bontrager gear, on line of your local Trek Dealer.

CLOTHING
- Castelli Gabba ROS 2 - For higher visibility I worn this short sleeve as an outer jacket over my other jackets. The Gabba jascket/jersey is water resistance with GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER 205.
- Castelli Fondo 2 long sleeve jersey ~ Great Jersey. I have used this jersey as both an inner and outer layer of clothing. I like that it has reflective sleeve bands and a reflective vertical pocket stripe for improved visibility when I wear it as an outer layer.
