    Esther I am glad you asked. I was wondering the same thing. This is my first autumn cycling.

    we are running high 50's to low 60's here now (although Sunday was 80 - sweet) temps are nice, but winds are cold

    I don't have fancy cold weather gear so I layer, and layer and layer - I can always peel

    on top
    layer 1 sports bra (of course)
    layer 2 thermal camisole to keep core warm (I wear one of these all the time all winter)
    layer 3 short sleeve jersey (sometimes longsleeve)
    layer 4 long sleeve fitted jacket type made from a wicking fabric
    Layer 5 unlined windproof layer

    layer 4 removed first if necessary but usually not necessary

    Bottom
    cycling shorts
    lightweight thermal underwear (I wear these all winter even indoors)
    wind pants

    have been known to peel thermals if on an all morning ride and the temps warm up but now everything stays on - I am a wimp when it comes to cold and my muscles cramp up.

    I just wear my regular cycling gloves
    I go barefoot in my road shoes so I switch to my mtn bike shoes and wear socks

    I think I will add an ear cover of some type today


    It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

    In "your" language it's abpout 51' here (about 11' - 12' in "my" language)

    But then, the sun is just rising and there was a cold southerly that blew through last night... skies are clear, so I expect we'll get to around 72-75' (thats somewhere up to 25' - although I wouldn't be surprised if it got up tp around 26-27) just perfect for a spring ride after rain on new seal beside the poplars.

    I suggest you put on an aeroplane and come ride with me

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".
