I was caught off guard by the change in the weather. On Monday I was
a little less sweat-soaked than before, then on my next ride (which
was yesterday), I wore an undershirt and really should have worn
gloves.

Today, I went out in three shirts and gloves -- wearing short, thin
linen trousers. But it got warm enough that I took off the gloves.

We'll have another warm spell just after I remember how to ride in
cold weather.

Went for my usual Sunday Ride and got rained on. About 20 Km of a 60
Km ride was in the rain. Cool today too, it is about 18:00 and the
temperature is still about 81 degrees (F). :-)

Right now it's 7C in Ottawa (about 45F) and overcast. I am waiting for it to
warm up a bit, but I will likely go in shorts, t-shirt, long-sleeved shirt
and rain jacket (this last just to break the wind). I always wear gloves,
but today I think I might wear nylon shell mitts over them.

I was born and brought a hundred odd miles, or so, south of Canada and
when I went away to collage I discovered that there were places where
it was warm and didn't even snow in the winter time.

I never went back, except to visit.... in the summer time.
