the best time of year
Posted On Monday, October 27, 2008 at at 8:07 PM by MTB ManWell, really, everytime is the best time of year. But I love the fall for riding, right when it's 55 to 70° or so. Indian Summer.
It's getting a little cooler now. This morning was about 43°.
I got a pair of tights that work great. We even had a 27° morning and I was fine.
The only thing that's getting cold now are my hands and my feet.
I'm thinking I may have to ride the mountain bike when it gets real cold 'cause I can wear my hiking boots and wool socks. My road bike uses clipless pedals.
All in all, I love getting out in this weather. It's supposed to rain tomorrow (it's raining now, actually)but I'm considering going out on a ride. I have rain gear except for gloves, boots and head. They are not waterproof.
We may even see some snow in the next couple of days!
This pic is from a ride on the Mohawk-Hudson Bike Path that I took with my wife:

This is me on the same ride. The Mohawk River is in the background. (I thought I looked better than that)
