I started out in the 40's wearing everything I own. Santa Ana winds were predicted but it was just breezy at 7:30. I rode out 10 miles and in about 1 minute made a turn and hit 70+ temps and wind gusts of around 40 - 50mph. Almost got knocked off the bike several times. I turned around before the first climb and returned to the start. After returning about 3 mi. I again hit 40 deg. temps. Of course I had already taken off the vest, arm warmers, plastic under jersey "Performance" plastic bag. So I froze for about 6 miles. But at least I got in a ride. If the winds blow out by tomorrow I will try again.
