I'll do the same if I manage to "scoop" the "Lovely" crowd.<br /><br />Cost IS a factor. Basically, though I hate to admit it, I'm cheap. Rivendell seems pricier for cycling clothes than I'm likely to spring for.<br /><br />Maybe it comes from two kids in college at the same time. At least it's a good excuse.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-85591747520946817772009-10-07T18:21:25.013-05:002009-10-07T18:21:25.013-05:00Yes, I am thinking long sleeve crew neck + short s...Yes, I am thinking long sleeve crew neck + short sleeve T from Rivendell and layer them (long sleeve first, then short sleeve over that). Plus a wool sportsbra (sorry if too graphic) from Ibex.

I wore a long-sleeve cotton T-shirt with a down vest over it when we started out in the afternoon, and within a half hour I became hellishly, "get-it-off-me" warm, despite the cool temperatures. I removed the vest and stuffed it into my cycling bag. My long-sleeve T was soaking wet, which did not feel too great as I continued to cycle in the wind. But I couldn't put the vest back on, because then I'd immediately overheat again. Finally, on the way back, the weather turned colder and I was able to wear the vest... But wait - now even with the vest it was too cold! <br /><br />Okay, so there, I give in. Fall bike shop sales, here I come to look for cycling clothes. But you better make them pretty!Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-51230415951715910542009-10-07T10:32:05.236-05:002009-10-07T10:32:05.236-05:00That doesn't look too bad.

I picked one up from Eddie Bauer on sale for $15 (if I remember correctly). They're great for riding in although they also look kind of dorky.Rat Trap Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123315525301010775noreply@blogger.com
