IT'S A REST DAY: If you start your rides early when it's cool, but don't want to wear a bulky jacket that you'll have to cram in your jersey pocket later, consider a cycling vest. The nylon front blocks the wind and holds in body heat where you need it, while the mesh back ventilates when you're going hard. Best of all, a vest stuffs into a tiny ball that fits neatly in your pocket or a seat bag. A good bet is the Classic Vest by Pearl Izumi ($55).
