If you want to do a single thing to make your winter riding more pleasant for yourself (not to mention your bike and riding mates), then fit a pair of mudguards. If you’ve got a dedicated winter bike then the likelihood it will probably have mudguard eyeleys, allowing you to fit heavy duty mudguards that will offer good coverage, but if not then there are plenty of clip on mudguards out there. Just make sure you’ve got enough tyre clearance.

If you don’t want to make enemies on the club run then it’s also worth fitting a rear mudflap. This is easy to bodge together at home. All you have to do is drill a hole in the bottom of your mudguard then attach an extra strip of material, essentially extending the mudguard downwards therefore stopping the rider behind you from getting covered in mud and whatever else might be on the roads.
