Woo Hoo! I hadn't thought of getting lighter shorts. I'll have to consult my bike and see how he feels about me not wearing blue, black and silver to match him (yep, she talks to her bike. Don't pretend you don't do it too).

Sounds like an opportunity to buy more gear! Yay!

Beyond that, I think hair being longer rather than shorter is the way to go. Oh, and the conditioner idea worked pretty well too.
