Cooler temps

[OakLeaf]

+1 on the knees and arms. I need FF gloves if it's below 70°.

Got it, new shopping list:

- wool socks (thicker)
- knee warmers

I just thought my legs would be working enough that it would be ok. I never did warm up, not really. Lesson learned, and thanks!

I also have asthma, and both cold air, and the rhinitis (spelling?) caused by riding on colder temps are far better triggers for me than riding in really hot/humid temps. I actually noticed a bit of this tonight

Catrin, try using a saline nasal spray before and even while you are riding for the rhinitis. My doctor suggested it at the beginning of the summer and it has really helped. I bring it with me on long rides.
I used to wear knee warmers or knickers up to 70 degrees, but now I can go as low as 60 or so, if the sun is out. But, I like my knees covered. I have so many thicknesses of wool socks, one of them is usually right for anything below 70, too. The gloves, though, I do short fingered down to the low fifties, as my hands seem to sweat a lot!
