My family has been buying stuff from Performance since 1999. We have never had a problem. I don't buy as much stuff there, because they don't have a lot of extra small sizes or jerseys I like, but between my husband and son, who raced for 4 years, we have spent enough there to open our own bike store! My husband is a Team Performance member and we use the points to buy things like leg warmers, booties, etc. We also buy equipment there, as my husband does all the work on our bikes. When my son was racing this saved us tons of money; he bought all of his bike mechanic equipment from them.
I'm not pushing them, but we've never had an issue. I buy most of my stuff from Terry, even though the owner once had a political statement in the catalog that I thought was really obnoxious and had no place in a bike catalog. I wrote an email to her about that one.
As for the weather here in Massachusetts, it's the rain that has been a pain. Last weekend was ruined, but I did take a short ride Sunday in the 30 mile an hour winds. It's not that cold out, yet. I rode today after work for about an hour, but next week is the last week for that... Daylight Savings Time ends and even on my teacher's hours it will be too dark to ride when I get home. I am hoping to be able to ride on the weekends until the end of November, because I have about 270 miles to go to meet my goal for the year.
