Yes indeed, the bank thermometer said 92 as I rode by on my commute home. Great commuting day! Morning was cooler, hi 50s, so I rode in with my new Ibex arm and knee warmers. Pulled the arm warmers off after 4 miles but the knee warmers were just perfect. Stuffed them all in my handle bar bag for the ride home.
Tomorrow lows are supposed to be 37 and highs in the 70s, so again I'll try the ibex knee warmers with warm tall socks and ibex arm warmers under my PI vagabound jacket for the ride in. I don't have leg warmers anymore that fit, but I am hoping with the right socks I can make the knee warmers work like leg warmers. Hmmm, maybe I need to go out and buy some wool knee socks, cuz if I wear tights in the morning I'll overheat riding home.
BTW the ibex knee warmers are just amazing. I realized today that they are definitely right and left specific, and fit much better when one pays attention to that! Arm warmers were a bit hot, but perfect for tomorrow.
p.s. Wackyjacky, why not show up for a wheelmen ride next weekend? Just google us on the web (san antonio wheelmen) for the ride schedule.

Does it count as a "ride" when it's just a short commute? Three today... to the gym in the morning, a short road ride with DH and his new Trek Pilot
and then back on the commuter bike to go out to dinner! Mmmmm, eggplant lasagne.

I will definitely look you all up...but not yet! It would be too embarrassing right now -- I need to gain more confidence first. Originally Posted by Triskeliongirl

If you are new to group riding you might also get started with either a broadway bike world ride, or show up for one of the wheelmen 'stay together' rides in cibolo. Paces are pretty moderate on both those rides. Originally Posted by wackyjacky1
