Safe Riding in All Temperatures:
I am constantly amazed by riders showing up at One Mile for a club ride wearing only a jersey & shorts when the temperature is a mere 38°! I always have trouble figuring out just the right amount of clothes to wear so I won't freeze or fry on a ride. You know what I mean -- it looks like a nice day out and you end up freezing your ears, feet or fingers off. Other days it looks cold out and you suffer heat stroke while climbing a hill. Here's a solution. Get one of those outdoor thermometers you stick up outside your window (make sure it doesn't get direct sunlight). Then, before you head out, jot down the temp, type of day (sunny, fog, etc.) and what clothes you are wearing. When you get back, make a quick note about your comfort level (too cold, a little cool, just right, a little warm, or burned-up on re-entry.) After a dozen or so rides, you will notice a pattern of what clothes you need to stay warm for any temperature, yet not burn up from having too many extra layers -- hey, your back pockets can only hold so many jerseys. Keep this list for future winters so you can take a quick glance at the thermometer and eliminate the guesswork!
