The Lighthouse Century...

[caligurl]

i'll second the... you can do a century even if you are slow! i'm am NOT a fast rider! and i've done 10 centuries this year so far! i pace myself (or, if you believe bc's brother... i sandbag! lol! )

double century.... ya.... probably not! lol! but we'll let richard think i'm going to... then he'll stop harping! i do leave the option open though.... but it was bad enough doing the double metric on my own last sunday.... add 75 more miles to that? hmmmmmmm not right now! i need either a new seat (for some reason mine that had been wonderful for a year... had been bothering me at and since cool breeze??????) or new tights (different chamois)... i'm wearing shorts and leg warmers saturday and see of that makes a difference... i hate leg warmers for longer rides cuz they fall down and i have to keep pulling them up and tucking them under my shorts! oh... and if i were faster it would help to not be on the bike so many hours! lol!

cali- I have a pair of unpadded tights that I can wear OVER my shorts... I hate the leg warmers too... but the tights protect my legs, and if I get hot I can stop and pull them off... since they're not padded they fold up just as small as leg warmers anyway... I just stuff 'em in my back pocket and keep moving... might be another option for you...

i have a pair of non-padded tights.. but they are actually kind of slippery.... (which suprises me cuz they are PI's) i'm not all that crazy about them... usually just ride with them around here when it's colder and i want two layers on my butt!

i have a pair of REALLY warm perfomance tights.. but the chamois isn't century stuff! lol! (although i believe they call it their century!)

i may look into getting a better/different pair of non padded tights????
