Think it is cool enough yet to put away shorts on the morning ride?

I think it may be!

 

Tomorrow is the test. If I get to work a slimy, sweaty mess then I know I was wrong. But, I suspect it will be pretty cool at 6:30 am so, the Pearl Izumis are going to be worn!

 

Now, where are my gloves?

Wear shorts as long as you can, gotta condition them legs to the cold!

I agree with this.

 

the last thing I cover are the legs and knees. today I wore double gloves (cotton) and thursday

I will do double socks...save the tights for when you really need them !

The pros always cover their knees while training in less than 60 degrees.  Having said that, they wear shorts racing in pretty cold weather.

 

I'm no pro (!) but I put on tights below 60.

I do most of my biking in street/work clothes, so my knees are almost always covered! I did put on my under-helmet beanie this morning, though.
