OH YEAH. I'm too competitive to let him beat me to save his ego.

I love that!
Funny.
The only thing I advise: that he might want to wear a cap underneath his helmet. He gets tanned patches on his bald head. He used to wear his skull cap when we lived in Ontario (where it was alot hotter), but maybe he doesn't find comfortable now.
Remind him that his cycling clothing needs washing. (Honey, you smell...) And no we don't voluntarily take each other cycling clothing and just throw it into the wash. We are each picky how it is washed/machine dried/air dried.
By the way, buffy I read your list of his adventures to him. He was amused also. He wears cycling jerseys and shorts, but has never worn a cycling kit in his life.Last edited by shootingstar; 08-19-2010 at 07:14 PM.

personally, I think my new dragonfly bike socks, sent to me by a friend from the Texas hill country ride, definitely improve the quality if not the speed of my ride, not to mention improving my workouts as well.
And as for #1- don't you know a guy never stops and asks for directions?marni

Chamois cream! Does he know about that?
Just saw little packets of same appearing in my LBS so you can re-apply midride. Better than carrying a bottle of it.

I buy 10 packs of the little single servings of paceline chamois butter every time I see them in the LBS because himself is always "borrowing" them. I'm not sure what he does with so many since he only rides occasionally except maybe put them someplace "safe" when he loses interest. Originally Posted by Christopher
