What a timely thread. I was thinking about fall as I rode last night and it almost felt cool. I can't believe I'm already thinking about cold weather riding in August, but I'm determined to ride as much as possible this year, and I figure being prepared is a good start.
Some great ideas and good links here. Thanks to everyone who took the time to post. I'm pretty sure I won't be riding in extreme cold weather, but I sure want to have a supply of colder weather riding gear. Do many of you wear your riding shorts with some type of fitness pants over them? The skull cap is a great suggestion. I think I have one somewhere as part of my motorcycle riding gear.

I know cooler weather is just around the corner...but it's hard for me to think about this right now. My ride last night after work was in 103 degree heat with a heat index of 106. With the additional heat coming from the pavement I bet it was close to 110! I'm relishing the thought of cooler weather!
