Dressing for the weather

coldYesterday’s post on dressing for Indian Summer rides stirred up lots of interest.  I guess a lot of other newbies out there are wondering how to cope with cooler weather.  Plenty of resources are to be found, both on and off line — but I’ll just mention one:  Reader Don of Stockton, California sent along a link to a biking group from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, which posted a guide to cycling clothing on its web site.

I came across this picture somewhere online — the rider looks ready to go on a chilly morning.

  1. These clothing guides are apparently for people who get colder than I do.

    I generally stay in short sleeve jersey and shorts until it hits 55, then add a windbreaker (vents open) at 50. Below 50, lightweight tights and a long sleeve jersey, add another jersey under 40, and then get creative since I haven’t done all that much road riding below freezing. That’s gonna change this year, though.
