In the six years I have lived here, that's the most clothing I have ever ridden in consistently. When we first arrived here from northern Europe- the Netherlands- I used to wish I could ride nude because the heat about killed me.Since then, my blood has thinned and I find it too cool to ride without light weight arm warmers or a long sleeved lightweight jersey about 6 weeks out of the summer in late July and August. I always ride with a wicking under layer and put my wool undershirt back on as soon as it drops below 60 in the mornings.

Low how the mighty have fallen.
LOL. I grew up out there--went to high school at Lamar, and I distinctly remember playing tennis in July/August in preparation for the Fall season and my shoes sticking to the court. I have also literally fried an egg on the sidewalk.
I moved away, and I've gradually gotten better with cold weather. Though this year's winter was a bit too much for me--just glad I don't live in the DC area anymore! I think I would melt in a Houston summer now.

Great pics! Love the Bluebonnets. We have lots of wildflowers in Alabama this year, but nothing beats a field of Bluebonnets.
