Shit man, where I ride, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia most winters I spend maybe two weeks max wearing extra layers. And by that I mean I normally ride in a t-shirt or singlet and board shorts, but for those coupla weeks I wear a long sleeved cotton t-shirt under my short t-shirt or a long sleeved cycling jersey and an Icebreaker merino wool neck chute, full fingered gloves, and sometimes grey female leotard leggings under my boardies. But this past winter I got away with fingerless gloves, and just the long tee or long cycling jersey. A visitor from NJ commented that we had Summer Winter weather. Which was true as it was 32 degrees Celsius at lunchtime in the middle of winter. So that's about 90 Fahrenheit.<br />Love ya site, Jeff. This World Wide InterWeb thingy is great to be able to see what cycle crazy fuckers the world over do. If you ever make it to Brisbane be warned; this is without doubt the most un-cycle friendly city in the world. I've ridden in Europe and the States and spoken to visiting cyclists here and they can't understand why there is so much hate from pedestrians and motorists. I think the heat and beer combo fries their brains.<br />So you crazy Mid-Westernites if you are in Oz and want someone to ride with pack light, bring sunscreen and shades, and you can get me at markwaddington at three dot blackberry dot com<br />Cheers Waddo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576046820095155909.post-78481252050659818482009-11-05T23:08:01.296-06:002009-11-05T23:08:01.296-06:00i like the double thick carhart pants. my mommie m...i like the double thick carhart pants. my mommie made me a hat to wear under my helmet that is a cycling cap with ears, and its warm. nice..Lt Greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677133045739564533noreply@blogger.com
