Could have been Army, but Marines seem just as/more likely, as this weekend is the MCM, right? But definitely not odd to have Army folks ding PT in shorts and Ts even when its cold. Uniform of the day doesn't always make sense. I saw lots of Marine Corps flags being set out along my route.

Anyway, as to my ride this morning: My thermometer said 51 when I got on the bike, and I very much enjoyed the cooler temps. I didn't notice the wind so much as others have mentioned (I thought the ride home last night was worse) but I did choose to put a light wind layer over my long sleeve T, and wore full finger gloves. I stuck to shorts, though. So many folks wearing full length tights, neck gaiters, etc...
