I've gotten spoiled to the warm evenings and warm morning rides.
Yesterday I wore my jacket in to work, but I stowed it on the backseat on the ride home. Now it is 50 degrees or so this morning and I'm realizing that my jacket is still stowed on the bike out in the cool air. Nothing like a nice cool jacket on a nice cool morning.
Fall is finally here.
Let's ride.
Commute to ride, ride to commute.

Yep, there is a chill in the air. When I left for work this morning it was 68 degrees. Felt kinda chilly.  |

If the roads are clear, and it ain't snowing, I'll be rideing. I might think twice if it's under 30 degrees!  hoser I don't mind the heat, either, I just drink more water. |

Oh I rode. I would have liked a jacket warmer this morning since I left it out in the cool air last night, but it didn't slow me down. After a few quick shivers the jacket warmed up enough to knock the wind off.
It was a nice ride in.
This was the coolest morning we've had since May 19th. It was a nice change. We still have the windows open but we began to turn the fans off. Fall is definitely coming!

I had to feed the horses this morning. My hands got cold when I was dealing with water. Fall has come to the Upstate too...

26 degrees yesterday morning in Woodland Park, CO. Roads were dry, only 21 miles to work in Colorado Springs. 2500 foot elevation drop and about 10 degrees warmer. Around 60 when I rode home. Yep, fall is in the air!

It was 78 this morning and only got up to 104 today. A chill is on the way. Suppose to be only 95 tomorrow. Sounds like sweater weather out here. After living here for 3 years you get cranberry juice for blood. The circulatory system thins out a bit.

I hate the cold weather. Supposed to be 62 tomorrow morning for the ride to work.  I guess I'll have to put on the jacket, any colder & I'll break out the longjohns! I love the summer.... except for the everyday rains.  Over 100 when this pic was snapped earlier this year, with lotsa humidity too!  Now that's ridin' weather!!!  |

I'll bet the circulation in your body isn't up to par. Either that or you're half lizard. How can you stand to ride in that heat, I don't think I put 50 miles on the bike since the end of May. I rode the bike to get a haircut about six weeks ago, was almost 90 when I left the house, was an even 100 with that darn humidity by the time I headed home. My jeans were soaked, shirt was soaked, socks...everything looked like I got caught in a downpour. I don't call that fun riding.  |
