Getting Prepped

This morning was a wardrobe experiment. The century is tomorrow morning and it's calling for super cool temps. Normally, I'm just dressing for the next 30-60 minutes or riding. So no matter how bad of a decision I make, I only have to live with it for a limited time. Tomorrow is different. My choices are gonna stay with me for several hours. So this morning, I thought I'd see what it was like to wear shorts at 50 degrees.

Honestly, I wasn't a fan. I think I'll wear long pants and long sleeves, then just carry them with me when it gets hot. I'm on the LHT with a front basket and trunk bag in the back. I think I'd rather be comfortable and carry an extra layer of clothes for the rest of the day. than be uncomfortable for the sake of saving a few ounces.

Forecast is calling for mid 40s to mid 60s all day. So I think, as a whole, it'll be on the cool side.

Next post will be a ride report of the Horsey!

Get out there.

  1. Hey, I'll be there tomorrow too! I'll be wearing a brown-themed Leadville jersey and riding a red Specialized.

    I'm going to start early in an attempt to get back to a family reunion.

    1. Awesome! I'll keep an eye out for you. I'll be the guy on the heavy ol' LHT slogging up all the hills.

  2. Good luck on your first century (correct?). In those temps I'd need lightweight gloves, but my husband would poo-pah that idea. He runs hot.
