In hot weather I really have little choice. The most minimal clothing that's practical is shorts and a short sleeve shirt.
So I have decided to make a list of comments to guide me in the future.

| 50°F (10°C) | 2011-10-30 | muni | Top: short sleeve poly Bottom: poly shorts Result: cold at first but after about 10 minutes I felt ok. Any colder and I think I'll wear long sleeves, at least to start. |
