What do you wear when it's 70 degrees?

[CycleTherapy]

Shorts and a short sleeve jersey !

I don't know much about Texas, but 70 degrees isn't all that hot in Florida. 20+ years of living here has thinned my once-hardy Yankee blood to the point that I'm a weather wimp, and at 70 degrees, you'll find me still cycling in my knickers and maybe a thin long-sleeve top. I like this one from L. L. Bean: Fitness Tee It's very lightweight cotton, treated to have wicking properties, and with a nice zip-neck. If I get hot mid-ride, I just scrunch the sleeves up above my elbows. I find that my legs are still comfy in knickers up to about 75 degrees, depending on humidity.

At 70, I break out the short and ss jerseys.

When that weather comes (!!!), I'll probably enjoy a shortsleeve jersey with armwarmers that I'll eventually take off, or a very light longsleeve jersey. And shorts.

Below 18C I wear shorts with legwarmers. Below 8C I wear shorts with tights on top.

Enjoy! Lucky you.

Ummm so 70F is 21C? Uh..that's not cold!!!

When I start my commute at 5am it's about 18c..not cold at all.

I'm a bit lost..

Sunday afternoon it was sunny and 59 degrees and I wore knickers, a long sleeved jersey, and thought I'd be fine. But I rode a very short distance and snagged my new Amici Veloce buff (yay!) and pulled it on. It covered my neck, my ears, my head and I even pulled it up over my chin. Without it, I would have been too cold. (Wind chill, of course.)

So today it was in the mid-60s in my house and I was wearing my knickers around the house and they felt very appropriate. It was hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that at 70, they would be too warm.

Odd that I've ridden when it was pretty nippy, and when it was way too hot (ugh!) but have little to no experience riding when it's NICE.

I think I could get used to this.

(Except for the sun on my skin, which worries me, even with sunscreen. I would have been more comfy in a tank, but even with the sunscreen I got from my dermatologist, I felt like I my arms and face were roasting. Sigh.)

70 degrees is perfect! - shorts & short sleeves (or no sleeves) for me! I am taking off Thursday afternoon to get out on the road on the bike for the first time in a month & it's supposed to be 57. I'll have arm & knee warmers on unless there is a stiff wind - then I MIGHT wear my tights & jacket.

Those are exactly the reasons I'd like it to be cooler! I love the cool breeze, and need to have my arms covered. Family history of skin cancer, and I've already had a small one removed from my nose!

Seventy is hard to figure out for me. I'll do shorts above 65, but the top layer is hard. If it's 70 at the start, I'll wear arm warmers and sometimes a vest over short sleeves, so i can peel the layers. If that's the highest it will be, I might be in a thin long sleeved jersey. Denise always has less clothes/layers than me when we ride, but I am slowly getting used to feeling cool at the beginning of a ride. Don't like it, though.
