Where my brother-in-law lives in Spain, those cats wear booties, neck
warmers, jackets, etc when it goes below 18C (65F). For me, 16C (61F)
is where I start contemplating long sleeves. I wonder what would happen
to me on a hot ride, say 38C (100F)? It has been years since I have
ridden in anything hotter than tops 30C (86F).
I suppose your bike is clean too!
