OK, not like Seattle but it's still gotten hotter & sunnier over the decades. Sign o' the times is that locally, Bermuda grass is taking over most yards. BTW I made the mistake of buying a non-visor "road" helmet, surprising how annoying low sun can be. Saw a couple of riders wearing "Da Brim" or similar this week & it's only February!
The black vs white clothes topic is intriguing, I used to think the pro Sky team was dumb to wear black jerseys, perhaps not.
