ok... so talk to me about layering!
i get cold.. i'm always colder than most people... i've been cold on the bike lately... but i also.. *gasp* sweat.. even though it's cold/cool! (i'm talking low 60's and yesterday even upper 50's)
i've been wearing a jersey and a jacket... (and gloves and tights or leg warmers)
when my clothes get wet (ick) i get colder
i have two rides coming up (tomorrow and next sunday) where i'll need to have cool and not so cool riding gear.. tomorrow should start out cool (for me... mid to upper 40's).. then include a hill which will make me sweaty and should also be cooler cuz of the elevation.. then the downhill.. which will be cold cuz i'll be sweaty (such an icky thing for a gurl)... then it should be half way decent at the bottom of the hill on the way back to redlands (maybe even 70! but you know how weather.com can be!)
next sunday should start out cold (hopefully upper 40's if i'm lucky but maybe even upper 30's!!!!!!!!) and we head straight up the hill.. so it will be cold but i'll be working.. and going higher! the downhill will still be cool (it looks like it only getting in the very low 60's if even! i'll know more as the the 7th gets closer!)...
soooooooooooooooo what do i wear? how are these layers supposed to work? i thought the wicking materials were supposed to get the sweat off of you.. but my wicking shirt or jersey still get's wet!
thanx!
