In autumn, it's not just the roads that are damp – your tyres are cold too. On chilly mornings, rubber takes much longer to build grip, and shaded spots can even be frozen.
Autumn mornings with care
- Warm up your tyres: The first kilometres calmly and with little lean.
- Watch the temperature: Around zero degrees, shaded corners can be icy.
- Start later: Sometimes it's worth waiting until the sun has dried the roads.
Patience in the morning builds trust for the whole day. You'll find suitable coaching offers for more calm in the saddle here.
