How Was Your Commute Today?

[Melalvai]

So, why did I feel colder on the way home even though the temp was 5F warmer?

The sun, the wind, and the hills.

Even though I'm wearing a neon yellow jacket and a white helmet, riding in sunshine is noticeably warmer. I guess my pants are all black, both the goretex and the polartec, whichever I'm wearing on the outer layer. Somehow I soak up enough sun to make a difference.

It is more uphill going home, so I tend to be warmer on my ride home, the opposite of you.

Wind against me is colder.
