Funny to hear Pawling described as upstate -- and this comes from a former NYC resident
You don't really get to upstate NY until you get at least north of Albany.
Pawling's about an hour north of me, but I can tell you that it will be cool when you start out your ride if you start in the morning. Even in Rockland, which is only about an hour north of the city, we're getting into the 40s at night and it doesn't really start to warm up dramatically until after noon. I wouldn't use a heavy jacket, just something to shield a bit of the cold until it warms.
