Cold ride
This morning I left at a few minutes after 9 am. The temperature was about 45 degrees Fahrenheit, though the day was clear. I rode until a few minutes before 11 am. When I returned, the temperature had warmed up to 50 degrees.
With shoe covers, good gloves, several layers, and a windbreaker, I felt okay in the sun. A few kilometers of road on the Belledonne side of the valley lay in shadow at that hour, however. Riding through the 45-to-50-degree shade at high speed after having broken a good sweat makes chilly work, even if you have plenty of clothing.
