Looks like I will be packing a little extra gear in my bags as although the days have been nice the night time temperatures have been quite cold.

Need to put some felt packs in my spd's too.

Here in Saskatoon it's been at or below the freezing point (0º C) for the last few mornings. I'm wearing a fleece jacket to ride in... and, unfortunately, I need it again to ride home in.

I haven't even broke out a light jacket yet for the ride in (mid 60's or higher). Going to mid 90's here today LOL

Yes. Rain Cape. It saved me from a good soaking last Friday! No gloves needed just yet though.

You know it! I am originally from Detroit and even after living here 30 years this heat still gets me.
Get back with me around Xmas. I may have got the heavy jacket out by then.

40° this morning! Needed to bust out the light hoodie. I'll probably need the fleece before Halloween at this rate.
