Spandex the latest fashion

[Kano]

I think I sweat worse than men do. It's unbelievable to me sometimes, how bad I sweat. I see other women exercising, and they hardly break a sweat, and in 5 minutes, I am dripping wet. It's awful!!!

It may not seem like it, DDH, but that's a VERY efficient cooling system we have! Yes, I sweat like that too!

If I wanted to go to Church and didn't have time to go home & change, I would certainly show up in Church with my cycling shorts on!

My mother always said to me, "God doesn't care what you wear in His House".

I personally would not have a problem with this. I'm sure that I would be sitting alone though -- Oh well!

My Rector has said the same thing

Well my pastor is a hard core hammerhead and racer so he wouldn't mind as long as it wasn't everytime you came. In fact he would likely make a beeline to talk to you after service and see where you are going and such. As for the congregation they all know that he and a few other members of the church are on a racing team so they wouldn't think to much about it either. In fact we have a ministry off of our church called Lake Effect Cycling that does charity rides to raise money for a local organization that helps people with food, clothing, used bikes, and a soup kitchen. If by chance you want to check it out its at www.lakeeffectcycling.com.

Ok now back to the question, the strangest place I have wore my spandex is hard to say really none of them are that strange. A hotel, resturants, amusment park (outside it), the hospital, junk yard, shopping in a grocery store.

I 've worn them to a hospital, an office of the Virginia State Police. Probably doesn't count, as a working at both places at the time

Today I got locked out of the house wearing my spandex biking shorts and sleeveless jersey. As I stood on a busy street corner using the pay phone to call my husband for help, I did consider what a sight I was (especially with no bike around as an excuse -- I was in my car, since I did have my car keys with me). I guess I was just in too foul a mood to care how fat I looked. My attitude was more, "Bite me."

I'm an Episcopalian, too. Lots of us here, eh?
