Should I bring winter riding gear if I am going to ride up Mt Ventoux?
If you are riding up Mt Ventoux between mid-May and late September then you won’t need to bring winter riding gear. Be aware though that, even in the middle of summer, and with a breeze blowing, it can be cool up on the summit and you should protect yourself from getting chilled by not spending too long at the summit after you have ridden up there. We would advise that you bring winter riding gear if you are riding outside of those times (e.g. between October and April) and particularly if you are used to only riding in warmer conditions.
