Ladies!!!!! I did NOT need more reasons to shop!
I just yesterday spent my REI dividend, PLUS $100 extra on bike and tri shorts; then today headed to local running store and got all new running shoes, glide and socks (of course!); so what I didn't need tonight was a link to some really cool capris. You people are SO evil!

On the original subject: I have NEVER found regular shorts that don't cause chaffing -- I always wear compression shorts under any other type to cover the loveliness that are my inner thighs. Too painful in the shower later. But my preference is capris... almost never too hot for capris here in the Pacific Northwest!

Seriously --- thanks for the links everyone! This online shopping is my only entertainment at work when I'm bored at 3am! Dangerous stuff!
