Pro-Tip: The "Three-Finger" Rule

If you're riding in the cold this month, remember that your tires won't reach optimal grip levels as quickly as they do in July. Give yourself three times the usual following distance and wait until you’ve been riding for at least 15 minutes before pushing hard into the corners.
