Fall Weather

I'm so happy that fall is here. It truly is my favorite time of the year and it makes biking so much more enjoyable.

Summer is nice and all that but the Chicago humidity really takes a number on cyclists. Fall...now that's a great season. The air is crisp, the trees are changing colors and road construction starts to wind down.

Biking in cool weather really is a treat. I find that my body produces so much heat when cycling that a long sleeve shirt is more than enough until it reaches 45 degrees.

I recently purchased this jacket from REI:

It's been pretty effective in the few times that I've used it. Now I just need the weather to cool down so that I can wear it a little more.

Do you hear that fall? Cool down already!!
