it's always amusing how different climates acclimate humans differently. i would burst into open flames if i wore a long sleeve t-shirt and shell in 63 degree weather. WAY TOO WARM!
conversely, yesterday morning, it was 45 degrees and i rode into work wearing shorts and a heavy long sleeve t-shirt. in chicago. in january. i don't ride with pants unless it's in the 30s.
my absolute favorite riding temp is 50-55 degrees. warm enough to stay warm, cool enough to stay cool.
