Gloves?

[maillotpois]

I don't like any padding on gloves and recently discovered the Craft Active glove. very light, no velcro and a thin grippy palm w/no bulky pad at all. they breathe really well also.

good to see you, Brandy! been a while!

Thanks MP...I will have to check those out too!

Oh, and it's nice to be back. I'm going to have to hit you up for some advice. After my confusing year of not knowing what I want to do (doubles, climbing events, CRITS?!?!?, road races) I think I've settled on the HARD doubles and road racing for next year. Looks like I'll have to come up to your neck of the woods for those.

well, it will be great to have you up here!! this has been a total slack off year for me, so I need to gear up for next year as well.

you thinking DMD? TT? Death Ride?

[Brandy]

I'd love to do DMD and TT! I realized I am not a crit racer and I just love climbing, so I think these would be great challenges for me. Of course, I'll probably retract that statement after Everest Challenge.

After looking around for ages for relatively lightweight gloves with a bit of terrycloth, I finally found these Louis Garneau XRW Ergo Air Gloves which I think are really nice

They might be a bit heavier than what you're looking for, but I thought I'd mention them.

I did some crits years back and they were a blast. ironically, I decided the time commitment needed to race with a team was greater than I could spare w/the kid right now, so doing the long distance stuff was better.

You might also look at the Castelli Maya. I have them - not sure I love them because of the lack of padding - but they might be just the ticket for you

And welcome back! I've missed reading about your adventures!
