It's really good to see the organisers of this event being responsible enough to make what must have been a very difficult decision for them and not bowing to the financial and commercial pressures but ultimately putting the riders safety first. Well done Ride Freesport and Televerbier!

It has to be Lake Annecy for us! Look it up... )

I'll get the (snow)ball rolling with "The Pretender" by the Foo Fighters.

...and my teenage son tells me that it's very cool to wear a thin beanie under your helmet for just this reason - just make sure you get an extra size up when you buy your new helmet to accommodate the beanie! )

I would second this, but would also say that it's really important to make sure to get a good fit between the goggles and helmet to avoid brain-freeze on that area of the forehead left exposed on particularly cold/snowy days.
