As Canadians, we pride ourselves on handling being outside in some lousy conditions. Riding in the snowy winter is totally doable with the right equipment and gear. Racing in the white stuff? Not as easy. Since you’re going to be going a lot harder in a race, you might not be as geared up. So it can be pretty rough if you get caught in a blizzard.
There’s been quite a bit of cold days in the pro peloton so far in 2023, with some races being cancelled. The sixth stage of Paris-Nice was cancelled due to dangerous winds. The GP Oetingen in Belgium was cancelled due to heavy snow, as was the first stage of the O Gran Camiño.
