Two questions:
I have light short sleeve jerseys which have been fine for summer. I have stuff to put on my arms and legs (e.g. knee warmers, etc.) but I am still thinking the Jersey is VERY thin material. Do you guys layer, or do you step up the thickness of the jersey material? Is there a certain type of Jersey or layer to look for?
Also, the acorns are starting to drop around here in my very wooded section of the northeast -- bike hazard or no? (at high speeds)
At what temps do you find you start putting on more from your summer gear?
fallen leaves can hide ruts or dips, and are slippery when wet. I have about had my bars wrenched out of my hands a couple of times hitting a rut hidden by leaves.
If you ride somewhat off-road trails, you have to be aware of whether it is hunting season where you ride and take appropriate measures.
