Old lessons relearned

[Willow]

It was twenty five degrees when I left the house this morning.  My morning commute is right at sixty miles.  As the past couple of weeks have offered plenty of not-so-cold riding opportunities, the liner has been out of my cold weather jacket and I was reluctant to reinsert it.  Putting the liner into the jacket, getting it snapped and zipped in all the right places without getting the arms twisted is just a pain.

I chose to go instead with wearing my fleece pullover under the jacket.  Honestly, I should just go ahead and throw out the liner.  The fleece pullover keeps me much warmer and takes up a lot less space in the arms than the quilted liner.

This morning was the first ride of significant length on my new rear tire.  ChrisJ said something a while back with which I totally agree.  There's something about new shoes that seem to reinvigorate the big girl.

It was a good ride.  I'm expecting to ride home in the upper fifties which will just be the icing on the cake.

Those jacket liners can be a bit difficult to get in right.   Enjoy the ride Willow.

Thanks for the info on the pullover. I've ridin' to work cold several times because of the time required to get the liner put in right.

I do the same thing all the time under my JoeRocket armoured jacket.  The fleece is just right.
Now, that fleece lined wind breaker would be the bomb!  I still get a bit too much wind on my arms and that would stop it cold...  get it, "stop it cold"?  hahahaha


I rode to work today also Willow...  it was 47 when I left the house and will be up in the 70's on the way home.  Gonna take the long way home by HotGlues to check out his new scoot!

Sindee and I got Tourmaster jackets a couple of years ago and with the rain liner plus the insulated liner we're comfortable at temps above 20 degrees.  I always wear a tee shirt under my long sleeve shirt and that helps too
