WillCycle started as a blog when I got back into cycling around 2009. As I couldn't find any cycle route guides online, I created 1 for Drake's Trail.
That was my 1st ever route guide, and I just updated it: https://www.willcycle.com/2020/10/07/drakes-trail-2/

Ever been told that you lose 90% of your body heat through your head? Or that you MUST cover your knees if tempt dip below 15C, cos "the synovial fluid in your knees thicken"?
These are both actually pure hogwash, and in Tuesday's https://www.WillCycle.com post, I explain why (with supporting evidence)
