In the past couple of years we have occasionally ordered from the kids menu or seniors menu.

I only managed to get on my bike once this weekend for a quick SS MTB ride. However, I did get to watch my daughter play her first softball tournament of the fall season with her 18U team. She was on FIRE at the plate. Over 4 games, she went 6-for-9 with 2 home runs and 4 doubles, and lead her team in RBIs (7) and runs scored (5). Unfortunately, the team struggled defensively, with uncharacteristic errors by talented players, and handed wins to the 2 teams that made it to the championship.
Discuss.

No arm warmers for me unless it's really cold. Here is my guide:
63+ Jersey/shorts
55-62 add gilet
50-55 gilet plus legwarmers
40-49 armwarmers or long-sleeve jersey, leg warmers, and gilet
32-39 add another layer for torso
<32 add winter jacket (not marigold, sad.) and possibly coated tights
edit: may tweak slightly based on sun/no sun and wind speed

60-68 long sleeve jersey/armwarmers (below 62 add baselayer)
50-60 add
40-50 jacket and tights and wool socks.
<40 ? (hardly ever that cold during daytime)

The coldest I have ridden here is approx 8F. It was sunny and not too bad, but I had to cover EVERYTHING and even needed ski goggles with my balaclava. I have no desire to break that record and nowadays will avoid riding below 15F. That said, a sunny and calm 25F degree day can be fantastic for riding, if dressed properly.

When I was about to head out to Sonoma to pick up the Centurion Ironman, Mrs. GeneJockey said, "How are you going to pay for it?" (meaning what method),
I said the seller wanted cash but would take PayPal. She said, "That much cash?"
I said, "It's only $300."
She said, "OH!" She thought it was a lot more. So I told her that the blue Lotus was $150 and the red Lotus was $175. She said, "That's cheaper than some of your watches!"
So, apart from the space considerations, I think she's feeling a lot better about my purchasing old bikes. If I'd known she thought I was spending so much, maybe I'd have spent more! There was that $1000 Litespeed last month..........

I've been eating one meal a day (dinner) since the beginning of the year. I like it. I can usually fast for the day and eat dinner without being too hungry or overeating.

Probably the worst cold-related time on a bike I can remember was January 1, 2000, when I decided to ring in the Millennium* with a ride up Mt Hamilton. It was about 40-45 degrees, so I had on tights, toe booties, jacket, thermal skull cap, etc. I had NO PROBLEM staying warm on the climb. The last mile or so was kind of foggy and damp. I got to the top, where it was in the 30s. I joined a bunch of similarly-mined cyclists in the only building that was open - the Post Office lobby - trying to warm up. Heading down, it was foggy and damp the first 3 miles at least, plus there was sand and gravel on the insides of most of the turns, and my hands - even in thermal gloves - became useless claws. I had sweated so much on the climb that all my clothes were almost dripping wet, and the damp fog only exacerbated that, so I was cold all over, and miserable. I ended up enjoying the climb a lot more than the descent!
*Okay, not REALLY the Millennium, but when everyone celebrated it.

I have ridden in temps as low as about 30 or so - or at least, it was that cold on part of the route I rode. But I was a younger man, and I used to ride in the AM before work.

If I tried that, I'd be grumpy and irascible for most of the day.
