    The only socks that should go
    The only socks that should go over tights are shoe socks. When in socks and shorts the socks should be at bottom of calf 🙂

    Not wishing to hijack the thread as loosley connected. I see alot of riders with socks over tights, faux pas or not???

    If you’re wearing tights, its neoprene.

    Shorts and 3/4 legnth Belgian Socks.

    The #84 of the rules has been made 😀 😀 😀

    Up in the arctic circle we have 1 rule in the winter:

    [b]Wool should be the closest thing to your skin[b] :B

    There’s no point wearing a base layer over cutton/lycra as it basically looses its heat keeping capabilities over normal cotton.

    So if your base layer is wool, it should always be under. Then if it/you get wet it will still be warm.

    Thats my tip of the day!
