I've been wearing Terry bike shorts in plus sizes-I don't like the ultimate chamois-too bulky; but the regular chamois in the T-short is good. I try to get them on sale, which is often easier on this site than at Terry itself. (Also check on REI.com.)

For wicking shirts, I've had great luck with LL Bean's mens wicking t's. I found them in their outdoor gear and apparel catalog, but I'm sure they are in all of them. They sell women's active (wicking) t's as well, but I'm not small enough-yet. The guys really wash well, and dry in a hurry on the line. And they wick beautifully. Another place to find plain wicking ts is online at Sierra Trading Post.com. They often have mens sizes in "Wickers" t shirts, which don't stand up to washing quite as well as the LLBean ones do, but I've had one for over 5 years-a little "pilled," but still does the job. I'd also recommend Mt Borah shorts for plus sizes. And Bike Nashbar used to sell some plus-sized women's shorts, which were great-but I'm not seeing them in the latest catalog.

Ride on!
