So in the winter it's like a wet blanket And even at 50 degrees and 6 mph winds it's cold. And summers same wet blanket ,you step outside and you start sweating immediately.
So I guess 63 degrees could be cold........ but I doubt it.
My ideal riding temp is 85ish. Still comfortable at 95ish. Sitting around the house, I put on a long sleeve when it drops below 82. But I wasn't always like this. I once grooved on 40s and 50s too. No more. When riding in high temps, even with high humidity, I'm hard pressed to drink enough to stick to the "pee every hour" rule. Not at all, usually, over the course of 6 or 7 hours. The body adapts.
