Why not take the spoiled fruit and make E85 out of it?

I'm surprised they even knew how to turn the heaters on.

It's the one season thinner blood syndrome. Move here from NY, MI or IL,
live here one summer and claim your blood thinned and now when the temp
drops below 65F it's cold.

I'd sweat like a pig then get cold due to wet clothing if I tried wearing
all of this.

guess I could ride with less energy.....

or stop whining

That's the beauty of this setup. I sweat too, but the UnderArmour
really does wick it away from your body.

It IS a little odd riding in shorts and a short sleeve jersey, passing
people in heavy winter coats. It IS possible to not get overly used
to the warm weather though - the trick is to not overdress. So far, I
don't notice any problem dealing with the cold, even after over a
dozen years in Florida and Arizona.

I was born here in Phx and always loved the cold and have always worn shorts
throughout the winter until the last two winters. I find myself shivering
when I never use to and it all started at or around the same time I screwed
up my rotator cuff in October of ott 5. ???

I still try to only wear shorts when riding but typically always wear a vest
over a short sleeve jersey. I've taken to wearing a heavy shell when first
starting out but that comes off after a 10-15 minute warm up.

I'd rather ride when it's 115 out.....less people
