Thermal jersey. It was mid 40s, but I'll wear it until it's at least 60. I'm from AZ 3 years ago and still can't stand temps under 60.

That is just crazy. Maybe you're just really efficient. I wear the same ss kit from 49 and sunny all the way up to 110F.

+1, awesome shot Andy. Send Ms. Cooper some money and grab one. Maybe have her pull the highlights a tiny bit if they're not blown.

I'm pretty similar. I hate being warm/hot and if the temp is 50+ I'll be in ss kit. If it drops below 50 I'll go with a long sleeve jersey and maybe knee/leg warmers. If it gets really cold (30's) I'll throw on a vest.

if it's under 70 i'm in knee warmers, arm warmers, vest, ss jersey, and bibs. If it's under 60 i swap to leg warmers.

Heh, if it's under 60, I usually add a thermal base layer to that list.

Although, under 60 is also our winter.

It was 71 on my commute home and I was chilly. Supposed to hit 90 next week. I'll take the heat over the cold any day.

42 and rain and I'd opt for the trainer.

Arty Battenkill photo. Me on the left, I happened to be passing a teammate who had fallen off the earlier 50+ field. He is a cat 2 CX guy and I see he brought his cross bike to the game.

At this point (mile 50) the field was utterly shattered. There were 3 ahead of me and 100+ behind, but looking at the results the biggest group to cross the line together, in our whole field, was 5 guys 15 minutes back.

Redlands Masters 35+



Smallish field, hot, windy. Every picture my wife took was full of suffering. I'm in the back just latching on to a chase group. Fun race

John does a nice job, he shot a few cross race I did last year too. I like his work, and that's a cool shot you have there.
