I just have to gush about the near perfect riding weather we are having in the Sierra Nevada foothills. It's been in the low to mid-60s all week and the roads are mostly dry. There is some sand on the shoulders (left over from the last icy period), but it's easy to see and avoid.

Went out for a 30 miler today with nearly 2500 feet of climbing. I wore a ss jersey with armwarmers, a light vest, tights, skullcap, my normal smartwool socks and toecaps. I was comfy the whole ride. We started pretty early; I'd probably ditch the vest for an afternoon ride.

We saw several other folks riding and they were all smiling. The sun sure feels good!
