I bit the bullet last weekend and bought some new bike clothes - one of which was this fun jersey, and TE carries it :) There is elastic at the bottom, as you can see, but it doesn't roll up on my like another PI jersey I have. The back matches the front :)

Cute! Do you think it'll ever be warm enough again to wear it? I'm beginning to think our winter will never end!
I wore it last night for my awesome wind ride! It was 72 when I started and almost 10 degrees cooler an hour later when I finished - it felt great when I started - sleeveless jersey and no tights...
Back to tights and wool layers this weekend :( That is better than NO ride though!
BTW I couldn't resist it - I got almost-matching socks :)
That's very cute. I wish I could fit into more sleeveless jerseys- but I'm short, short-waisted and busty! I get some big gaps at the bustline/arm hole...
I am NEVER warm enough for sleeveless!
Ha, I have been having that SAME thought in the past week!Quote:

OMG...and there's a kid's version, too! I just asked my 10 year old son if he would wear it and he said yes! New jerseys are not in the budget, now. Gotta watch for a TE sale! :D
Winter will never end? Here we hope not! My favorite ski area closes in mid April and 2 others stay open until June. It has been snowing here in the mtns of Colorado since mid Oct.Quote:

Oh yeah, it's really cute. We have a PI outlet here, I'll look for it.
Very cute jersey, but too dark for me -- I like lighter, bright colors for visibility on the road -- yellows, oranges, pinks, reds.
He's still not to that point where he doesn't want to be seen with mom and dad (I kinda hope he never hits that point) and will openly hug us in front of his friends. Today he didn't have school, so we went to a botanical garden for their indoor butterfly exhibit -- he's just as excited about this as he would be an air show or other "manly" exhibit...pretty balanced kid. He held my hand through the parking lot (his idea, I didn't require him to do it, or anything). He doesn't yet feel too self-conscious. I think it helps that he goes to a Montessori school that is pretty hippie/crunchy in nature...they really work to discourage peer pressure and being judgmental towards one-another.Quote:

It is actually not pink but more of a lilac. A bit more of a pastel than I prefer, but it works - I wanted a bright color that wouldn't clash with my bikes :cool: :oQuote:

I was planning on getting a Hydrapack, but this gives me the same water and item storage, and the bladder IS easier to clean and to open/close even if I can't turn it inside out. I can fit my whole hand inside to clean it :D This means the bladder doesn't have to live in the freezer!
