in the 70's today took a ride to Greenwood lake NY and it was a little on the cool side wore a denim shirt but if I had a light jacket it would have been on over the shirt its a nice change from high humidity and 90 degree temps all summer long.

It was nice here in Minnesota too. Mid 70's, sun, a slight breeze, and low humidity. Sure beats the 90's, high humidity, and wind we'd been having this summer. My wife and I got out for a couple of enjoyable rides. We saw a herd of 10-12 buffalo in a field along a country road...that was a first for us!
