Welcome to September...

Now that the kids are back to school and everyone is back to work, Scott and I are motivated to ride our bikes to work more than ever...simply to miss the crazy traffic we see from September through to June. I found some great images that show you how we are dressed when riding to work in given temperatures. Since our summer was rather cool we didn't often get to ride to work in the tanktop shown for riding in weather above 60 F (15.5 C). To be honest we spent most of our summer riding in the 50 F (10 C) outfit.

A little frustrating not doubt, but not nearly as frustrating as heading out the door this morning, the 1st of September, in an outfit somewhere in between the next 2 pictures!!!

The temperature this morning was advertised by the Weather Network as 2 C (35 F), but I don't believe it for a second since there was frost, thick frost I might add, on all the vehicles we passed. We headed out the door in winter weight tights (with a wind barrier on the front panel of the legs), long sleeved jerseys, a light fleece jacket, and a windbreaker...oh, and don't forget the toque, winter gloves and booties (wind proof, fleece lined shoe covers)!

So with that I say... "Welcome to September"!!!!
