How to train with Raynaud's

[eborn18]

Another rider with Raynaud’s here. I find that convective losses are my worst enemy, but luckily are also the easiest and cheapest to address. A pair of plastic sandwich baggies outside my socks (inside shoes) and nitrile gloves under riding gloves give me 15-20 degrees of additional riding outside with feeling in my digits. Chemical warmers (Hothands footwarmer pairs specifically) are my nuclear option for both hands and feet. I keep a pair of gloves and at least one pair of warmers with me on any ride where it might go under 50 degrees F and so far I’ve never fully lost feeling on a ride.
