I am still struggling to get the clothing right for the temperature. I did better tonight giving up an extra jersey for my Pearl Izumi windbreaker jacket. This helped my upper body comfort but my legs need my leg warmers. When the sun slides over the horizon the wind is chilly. Maybe it will warm up some more. The next ride will probably be Saturday afternoon and the temperature may not be as much of an issue. Weather tonight was 66 degrees and a WNW 5 mph wind. Clear skies did not help the warmth retention.
