Tootsie Troubles.

Well, it's getting to be that time of year.  The mornings aren't quite as warm as they used to be and the angle of the sun is a little lower.  Don't get me wrong, it's certainly not cool out yet....but riding in shorts, t-shirt, and sandals is a little chilly!  I've added a smart-wool shirt over the t-shirt most of this week.  After they last few mornings, I'm seriously starting to think the sandals might not be working.....  In other words cold toes!!

I snapped a few pictures of the problem area on the ride in earlier this week.  Please note the pleasant sunshine warming said toes at the time of the first picture...and that the speed is a relatively relaxed 16-17 mph.  Nothing that keeps the toes cold during a good part of the ride.

The real cold toes issue is that the first 2 miles of my commute are all down hill and require very little peddling.  It's these first few miles of coasting that get the piggies chilled and then once peddling commences and the blood starts pumping all the digits get nice and warm again.

So what do you think?  How long into Fall can you rock the sandals on the daily commute?
