I dress for "chilly for the first 10 minutes," so that I can be comfy for the rest, but that still means a change-out. I like to carry as little as possible.<BR/><BR/>It's strange to see how people dress, though I seem to see more people under-dressed than over-dressed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-38292799144860720412008-10-14T12:09:00.000-06:002008-10-14T12:09:00.000-06:00I seem to under dress.

My favorite glove is the the wool Army liners ($2-$3) at temps above 20 degrees. <BR/><BR/>I often see cyclist dress like eskimos and wonder how they do it.Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198204833535175807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-74389320526169388522008-10-14T11:51:00.000-06:002008-10-14T11:51:00.000-06:00I tend to err in the direction of being overdresse...I tend to err in the direction of being overdressed (though not as extreme as you saw). The last couple of weeks have been difficult with our wild temperature swings. Usually it's just a matter of adding or removing layers gradually as the temperatures change over the course of a few weeks.<BR/><BR/>I've heard that the rule of thumb is to be slightly chilly (but not cold) when starting out in order not to be overheated at the other end but this is not so easy to accomplish in practice. I've found that the same temperatures require different clothing depending upon whether the sun is out or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
