Groovy undies

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Well I haven't gained gigantic amounts, but enough to have had to order the next size up today of my favorite hi-vis yellow safety biking tops...
the ones from two years ago are just too darn snug now....DAMN!

Gee it's nice to know I'm not alone in feeling a tad pudgy. A year ago I was just starting to deal with an unhappy knee (torn ligaments). Haven't been on a decent bike ride in a long time. Then this flatlander moved to a place with real geography. And I'm sceered of them thar hills. Still need to take my road bike to LBS to have it uncreated, reassembled, then have a fitting. With the longer days, I thought I'd take the two of use riding on the bike paths down in the river valley after work.

I have clothes in my closet I can't get into. Must drop the weight I gained.

I'm also woefully out of shape from spending the last two years living in a car-centric perpetual winter wonderland. Clothes still fit (barely) but I've lost muscle tone and stamina.

But I'm back in Seattle now, at least 90% of the time anyway. Should we organize a Seattle TE ride in the near future? Somewhere nice and easy? It's been a while.

Yes! I have to haul my crated road bike to a LBS for reassembly. But I have my 3 speed if the ride really will be nice and easy.

I think we can find something easy somewhere. I'll start a thread in the Northwest forum to see if anyone else wants to join.

I'm going the other way on the weight scale. And have had to order smaller undies.

But I would like to recommend the larger undies (that I'm now going to pack away for the triathlon-training-off-season)

Icebreaker Bikini

They are wool! (KNOT!!! Your fave!) They are cool, comfortable and not at all skimpy. They cover what needs to be covered. But they aren't granny-panites either. They also last for years and years and years. They are spectacular in high heat and humidity (Hawaii tested year round!) and I only wear these undies. I own nothing else.

They are not cheap. But I've had the same pairs now for over 5-6 years easy. So they are worth the investment.

I've had to size down from L to M and actually went with a little "smaller" cut.

Icebreaker Siren Bikini

Sexy!

I envy any woman that can wear bikini undies. For somebody (ME!!!) with a significant tummy "pooch", bikinis are a definite no-go! I can't wear anything but a brief (and yes, they do resemble granny panties)...at the absolute bare minimum, I might be able to get away with a hi-cut brief...but it's still a brief. <sigh>
