What do you wear when it's 70 degrees?

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.

Shorts even when it's very cold (my legs never get cold) and normally sleeveless if sunny or short sleeves if overcast. Between 65 - 70 degrees is perfect riding weather for me. Anything over that its hot and I get whiny!!!

Saturday here is was in the high 80's. I tried to mountain bike but the heat made me queasy. Sunday it got cooler around 68. Did 54 miles, piece of cake. The temp is a make or break for me.

Me too, Pam. I just don't tolerate heat at all.

Ditto to the shorts and Tee's

And as for 70 degree weather........pleaseeeeeee bring it on!!!

70 degrees. hmm, I'd say it depends on the month.

If it's May, arm and leg warmers, to be removed if the breeze ever dies down.
If it's July, shorts and jersey, because it'll be 85 soon.
If it's January, a swimsuit!



Seriously, it does depend to me what the ancillary weather is like - breezes, humidity, temps rising over the ride or not... but all things being equal, 70 is about the perfect temp here! I don't like to ride much higher than the low 80s.
