Which of the following effects should you take into account during a long ride on a single-track vehicle in sodden clothes?
Explanation

Correct answer: Overcooling of the body.

Wet clothing, combined with the airflow to which the rider of a single-track vehicle is exposed, leads to rapid heat loss. Prolonged riding in such conditions causes dangerous hypothermia, which in turn reduces the ability to concentrate and lengthens the rider's reaction time.
