Disappointed

Hey SadieKate. Just noticed you had added Everest to your sig.

But of course!

Because of you I started researching mountain peaks. I actually had this whole scheme going of topping 4.6 Chamlangs on my 46th B-day until yellow pointed out a discrepancy in a ride we did a while back.

Chamlang is the 46th highest peak in the world and translates as "Great Flapping Bird." All that trivial brain work down the drain. I think 4.6 Everests is a tad too big a goal with only 3 weekends left.

I was pretty impressed with the speed of her response. Sometimes email to a company goes into a Black Hole.

Can you put them up by the hoods? That's what hurts me, right in the corner between my thumb and forefinger on my left hand. My right hand is perfectly comfortable, but my left is always fidgetting around. It was like that on my MTB, too. And I'm wearing gel gloves, only they are years old and wearing out.

Nanci,

I know how you feel. If my hands get tired, it's always right in the corner between thumb and forefinger. I ride on the brake hoods prob'ly 90% of the time. I make it a point to shake my hands out occasionally, and change positions, but I always end up back on the hoods. Mostly, I'm okay unless it's a ride over 75 miles or a ride of many days in a row. I don't wear any gloves at all. I know, I know, most people do, and I wore them for many years! Always trying different brands and styles to find one that worked. Never found any. Either the padding was too thin, too hard, too thick.......... always something. So one day I quit wearing them. My hands are happier than they've ever been. Okay, so I can't wipe my tires off while riding. (I'm not much good at that anyway! ) And I am well aware, in the event of a crash, I stand to lose more skin w/out gloves than w/ gloves. I've just chosen to go with comfort over the long haul instead of worrying about what might happen. Simply a personal choice. Something to maybe try and see if you like it. Sure takes care of those funny tan lines! Tho' that is NOT why I don't wear them. I'm not quite that vain.

Once it gets cold, I wear gloves out of necessity, to keep my hands warm. I don't like it, but I do it. I try and find gloves that are as unoticeable as possible!

However, yellow loves them so I donated all of my PI gloves to her (but then she wears her helmet crooked, too).

Ummmm...I thought we decided that my HEAD was crooked!

I did notice, however, that you slipped a pair of non-gel PI gloves in the last batch...and I got me a blister! So I think that means I'm a freak that does better with the gel than without.

Not that I'm not grateful for the donation. I'll keep the non-gels in the car for emergencies!

Sorry! I probably grabbed all the PI gloves which had that ridge at the base of the thumb. Owee. Feel free to recycle them however you care to. Didn't mean to sabotage you.

Sure, it's her head that's crooked.
