Bike & Gear - The Alps
The weather is expected to be from the mid 40's to the 70's with most of it in the 50s & low 60s, so I went with a 6 layer approach in both my cycling and camp clothing. Lightweight and just the necessities with a few comfort items.
Most of my gear can be purchased at your local Trek Dealer, bike shop, or online.

- 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.
