Spring, Summer, and Fall are all good riding seasons, with low humidity and temps normally in the 60's-80's, and the winter is mild, with realtively low precipitation and mild winds. Honestly, there's no need here for more than a pair of knee warmers, as my warm tights were too much when I rode a few winters ago.
There's nothing like being in an area that's thought to be "sue happy" to keep the inconsiderate ones wary. Lots of considerate people driving out there, though.
