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. -- joy beeson at comcast dot net http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ The above message is a Usenet post.

The breezy 60F we had today would have felt balmy in February. Today it was amazingly chilly. -- - Frank Krygowski |

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). :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

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. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) |

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. -- Cheers, John B. |

We'll have another warm spell just after I remember how to ride in cold weather. Sunday a week ago my bike ride was hot and windy local ride. Last Saturday we did the Champlain Islands. Forecast was for 16C and a slight chance of rain with light winds. 50km into a 100km ride it started to rain and continued for the rest of the ride. Fairly well pouring for the last 15k. The temperature never got above 9C and the moderate winds turned into 40k/h gusts coming off Lake Champlain. At a quick rest room stop a local walked by and told me "you guys must really like riding your bikes!" lol. I guess that about sums it up. We'll have snow here in a couple of months so you have to take what you get. But we definitely weren't ready for the weather that we had. |

After a drenching in the Champlain Valley on Saturday, I'm driving today. Have a good ride. |
