Comments From The Ride Leader:

Reality check – for new riders, this is still relatively cold weather. It could be a cold ride with just shorts and summer gloves. You should have a light rain jacket as we could get wet for a portion of the ride and you can put on if needed or as extra layer if you get cold, but wear something you can ride in without your rain jacket if you get too warm. And you should have some sort of full gloves. Even a thin glove under/over your summer bike gloves can make a difference. And please wear a bike helmet that fits you properly. It’s just not safe to ride without one.
