too few bikers are as prepared or rational as this fellow. he might not have 90 vo2max, but he (and his crew) has my utmost respect for this kind of preparation

I live ind Denmark and i made the mistake of putting on my BIB shorts without windprotection (instead of my castelli BIB's with windprotection) on a mid-february ride. it was about minus 5 degrees celsius. after 25 K I realized that my manhood was completely numb from being exposed to cold air in high speed.in shock I turned around and raced back home on pure adreanline. i didn't get a permanent injury,but after that expierence i also spend some time before each ride preparing the right gear
