Solo 50 after a busy week. Not releasing too many details right now but illness sadly hit Gina's family again. Having some issues and spending some time helping out so I was not on my bike all week. But I did get out today planning 40 but then figured once I got on, might as well get in as much as I can taking advantage of trying to stay out of the way for a bit.
Pretty cool dude, Sergio. Another Old Man jersey ha ha ha! Had thought about getting this one but I've seen it for a few years now, even had a t-shirt at one time. Plus, wouldn't know exactly what color to get. I see a few versions on the e-bay store where I get my jerseys. Maybe someday but I have so many jerseys now ha ha ha! But Sergio was pretty cool, friendly guy. Good sense of humor and good smile.
Kind of strange going around the shooting range hearing the guns popping. Not too fond of that trail either, Rio Hondo. I've heard that going south on that trail is better. Did get taken there once with Sandra but after a rain so part of the trail was washed out so we had a detour and not even sure if I could find my way there ha ha ha! I think I did go back once after that on my own. I remember getting so far then thinking it looked kind of ugly with some homeless camps so I turned around. But others have told me it's a nicer trail Maybe I'll have to check it out sooner or later.
Speaking of Sandra, I did see her rolling by the opposite direction near the airport on Rio Hondo, She shouted out something but with the wind and earbuds, not exactly sure what it was that she shouted. I think she may have shouted, "hey fukker!" ha ha ha! Haven't ridden with her in quite some time now. People have asked why and why Haven't I got her on video lately. Well, a bit of a difference when it comes to thoughts on safety concerns. Maybe I'm a little too cautious but I plan on staying alive and upright. She's a little more carefree than I am when it comes to attention and organization. I see things she doesn't and it scares me. Last thing you want to do is see a buddy go down at high speeds. I've seen people hit the pavement before and it is not nice. GMR descent, a buddy Jose went down near Newman's point. Ending up driving down the mountain while Gina waited with him on the side of the road. He was riding with a different group, not us for the record. We just happened to approach the scene a minute or two later. I was the closest vehicle so it made sense that I help him out. He was out cold and ended up wit a broken collar bone and broken ribs.
Another time, I was riding with a group up to Baldy Village. One dude took his hand off the bars and went down. Again, out cold, broken ribs and a concussion. Again, I drove him to meet his contact who took him to the hospital. So Sandra being very confident on the bike on high speed descents is a little careless in my opinion. Last thing I want is to have to watch her go down at 40 MPH. Yeah, we have descended at 40 MPH in the past. Heck, I know quite a few dudes that get scared at 30 MPH. I have to say that I have seen her do things that I questioned then mentioned it and she was unaware of what I saw. Kind of scary I think.
And I know I can be a beotch when it comes to certain safety factors on the bike. So my thoughts are that if YOU DON'T RIDE THE WAY I WANT YOU TO RIDE, THEN I'M NOT RIDING WITH YOU.
Bottom line, I don't want to see anyone get hurt and not wanting to see a friend get mangled, I stick to my guns. One dude mentioned a few years back that he noticed my little group was well organized and disciplined. He said that everyone in my group was BEANZ TRAINED ha ha ha! Yeah, I guess so and it's safe that way. Heck, even Aimee riding with us, her number one concern was to NOT GET HURT. so she fit right in and was well disciplined as well. Not that I actually train anyone, just that some riders are aware and not so careless, or should I say carefree.
I bring this up because one of the comments on YT was that too bad we don't ride together any longer as we seemed to compliment one another. Yeah, I would say she added a certain entertainment flavor to my videos but I just don't want to see her get hurt and certainly don't want to see it if it ever happens. Our discussion that was the main concern at that time was riding on GMR. You guys know if you go down on GMR,, you're getting hurt if not killed. Too bad because she is strong but like I said, I don't want any part of watching a buddy go down. Just in case someone was wondering. I know some did because of a couple of comments on the videos asking. SO that's why ha ha ha!
The clown in the video at 8:05, not sure why people do this. Everyone knows you can see for a mile on the trail so I saw the dude up ahead. I was keeping my pace just doing my thing for exercise. I would say he was out of sight when I stopped at Thienes Park to re-fill my bottles, even mixed an electrolyte drink. He went by when I was filling my bottles. Anybody with a head start like that probably won't be caught by the time one hits the top of the trail about 7 miles away. I saw this dude about 4 miles later and I was catching him just holding my pace. I caught him about a mile before the top, after 5 miles I'm guessing. Saw him when he was way far ahead.
Eventually caught him, again just doing my thing holding a steady pace with a heart rate in the 120 and 130's. When I'm trying hard, I hit 160 so 125 is not a hard effort for me, just steady. I catch the dude and pass him, not aggressively. I leave that up to them to be butt holes ha ha ha! I pass the guy at my pace but 30 seconds later, he has something to prove I guess.
He sprints around me lifting his pace as if we had been racing. Umm ok! Well screw that, not sure why you're trying to be a hero after I caught you without too much effort. So he lifts his pace thinking he's going to drop me I guess. Shoot, let's go. I picked up my pace then rolled right by him on one of the little inclines, a series of stair stepping type of terrain. Take that MOFO! Ha ha ha! Yeah, I lifted my pace and rolled right by him with one hand and that is after pulling the recorder out of my jersey pocket, turning it on then recording the pass ha hah a! One handed pass blowing by him as he tried the standing sprint up one of the little hills. You can see my shadow holding my GoPro in my hand. The one handed pass? Guess you're not as bad ass as you thought ha ha ha. Maybe it's they see the Old Man on the jersey and think they're stronger. Crazy, I know when someone catches me from a mile behind, I'd feel like a fool and an idiot trying to compete with them. What a clown ha ha ha!
WTH is this thing? It's a tool to help a cyclist remove the rear wheel without making a mess. OK, I figure if you're so much of an idiot that you can't even remove your rear wheel without a big bulky tool like this, you shouldn't be riding ha ha ha! Who would want to carry this thing on their bike to change a flat? Saw it on facebook with great reviews, ok ha ha ha!
Did another 41 today. Figured I would do the Emerald Necklace course but out and back so it looks, I thought might look like a horseshoe but after looking at the map, looks more like a pee-pee ha ha ha! OK, I guess is my official name for this ride now ha ha ha!
Supposed to be warm, 90 but didn't really feel that hot. But a red flag warning advisory which means, it was probably more windy than hot. Not as windy as the other day but enough to feel in my tired legs. But a good week, 142 miles. 50, 51 and 41 miles, I'll take it.
Have been testing various carb combinations but when you're tired and the freakin' wind never lets up, one can't be sure if one feels good or not ha ha ha! I did see quite a few riders that seemed to be struggling today. I guess it was the wind because it wasn't blazing hot as usual. My device said 85, I saw Alyce's ride and it stated 90 degrees. Kind of strange as I ride inland and she rides to the coast. So who knows? It was warm but not blazing.
But another good ride just getting in some exercise fighting the old age.
The YT video
So the course doesn't form a horseshoe, kinda more like a pee-pee ! 🤣😂🤣
Check out the bounce on these suckers! Oh sorry, did I say suckers?! 😁 I saw her earlier and she gave me a big smile, just bouncing away. So the next time I saw her, I figured I would capture her on video. I will have to say, a big girl but she had some good bounce. Check out the movement in the images. Pretty good range of motion. 😁
A little late night snack. Does it look tasty? It really wasn't. 😄
WOW!!! Gina and I went to a little outlet (?) Type store called Suprema lookingforsome supply type products. All kinds of different stuff. Found this bike cleaning kit for $4.99. Has a clip on chain cleaner/scrubber, chain brush, cassette brush, tube type brush, polish cloth and a few other things. Heck, I paid about $20 for the clip on chain scrubber alone about 10 years ago. And cassette brush about $10 a month ago. Gina insisted I buy it, who am I to argue? 😁
Solo 51miles. Life Behind Bars Tour 😁 Tried going easy but tough on the return. Didn't even look at the temp to avoid getting psyched but average 90 degrees. Really windy at the top. 9 mph at 140 heart rate 🤣
Saw new Strava buddy Emmitt again. Dude has only been riding 4 months and doing great. I was about40 miles into my ride when he came up from behind me. Lucky dude lives right near the trail entrance. I was getting a little toasted. Not by the heat but by the effort it seems. Could have been the heat sneaking up on me but not sure. But when I got to the top of the dam, oh my goodness! Did well on the dam but once hitting the nature center and above, it got so darn windy. At one point I was doing 9 mph with a pretty good heart rate. I tried to relax but it was like the wind was pushing me back. You know when you see the leaves hitting you straight head on.
Then once at the park, cops had the entrances blocked and a fire truck doing something with hoses. I thought someone had started a fire as I could smell the smoke. Later Gina told me that there was a big fire at the mouth of Azusa Cyn. Good thing I was too tired to go up ha ha ha!
I was testing some carb sources today. Usually using fig bars but reading on how to optimize the carb sources, I was informed that I should not mix my carb drink with the fig bars. Different types and the sugars will clash somehow. I know I got the main idea reading it but at this moment, I don't remember the exact terminology but just knowing not to mix them or they nullify one another. Today I tried the first bottle of Skratch carb mix, then a fig bar with water only for 30 minutes or so to give it time to digest. Heck, didn't feel anything other than tired so I'm guessing I feel better with the fast acting carb drink. So I'll fiddle around a little more with other stuff but on shorter rides I am guessing seeing this day, didn't seem to work with the combo used.
What I did forget to mention was that 2 days ago, I saw one of the homeless thugs under the pass acting like his usual crazy self. Very annoying imo as he sits there laughing tossing a ton of rocks into the path. Like 200 or 300 normal sized rocks that could be dangerous. I had seen him there on my last 3 or 4 rides just sitting there tossing them onto the trail. I even thought about stopping and taking pics on the return so that I could send them in as a complaint as I have before in other areas but same trail. I almost thought he might get stupid with me if I stopped. So I was planning my counter attack ha ha ha!
But on the return, there were cop cars with lights flashing. a big dump truck and about 5 or 6 guys in white outfit jumpsuits cleaning up the mess the thugs have made under the pass. Saw a dude dressed a little more professionally walking up from the trucks that were blocking the entire trail. I asked if it was ok to walk through. We ended up chatting and I expressed my concerns about those clowns, especially this one. I told him I had thought about taking pictures to send in the he said now that they were made aware, they had been monitoring it much closer not having realized how big of a problem it was. Yeah, I noticed a big difference and seen several trucks present over the last year or so. Much better so we chatted a bit and I thanked him for the efforts. Then stopped to chat with one of the dudes in a white suit. Must have been in charge, he asked me about my ride then we chatted a bit too. Then I also thanked him and told the guys to keep up the good work. So I'm happy as they said they have been coming around once a month to clean up the mess. Nice!
Just got this jersey yesterday. Thought it was red but looks more orange to me. Cool looks like a good traffic ride jersey being so bright. Liked it and the several others I've gotten off ebay so I ordered the blue one as well. Pretty cool scary looking jersey. Sadly delivery estimate is after Halloween.
Solo Fitty !Started out for 40 miles but felt good so I rolled it out to 50 with the upper section for the grand finale. Pics at the Peck Rd Water Conservation Park. EMPTY, nobody there as it is closed on Mon & Tuesdays. Nice to have the park to myself but the restrooms were closed. 🩲 14 PR's, I'll take it! Did the course they call Emerald Necklace but I did it twice, once reversed and then some. The upper section of the trail for the grand finale. So I guess I would call it a double Emerald Pendant Without the Clasp and A Bit More. Easy heart rate, felt good!
The cyclist suck part? I have never been involved in a sport where the participants are so hypocritical. Always always on the forums or FB pages crying about how drivers make it dangerous for cyclists, how they disrespect cyclists, and lack patients when it comes to cyclists.
But yet, when I was starting my ride, the perfect example of my thoughts. I am on the street heading south while a group of 5 are heading north. Leaving Encanto Park, I am on my merry way when I see the group approaching the park. I have the right of way but the group starts to turn right, across my lane ON THE STREET in the opposite direction to make the driveway. The first three make it in time but the fourth and fifth riders arrive the same time I do in the area but they turn anyway in front of me, making a left turn as if at in an intersection, I have the right of way. But the cyclists turn in front of me. Isn't this the same as a car turning in front of a cyclist at an intersection who has the right of way? Yes! Freaking disrespectful idiots! This is why I hate reading all the cry baby stuff on the internet. If I was stupid enough to only see one side, then I guess I'd be one of the crybabies ha ha ha! But nope, I see both sides and think the crybabies need to open their eyes.
BTW, I have to ride on a short section of a busy road to get from one trail to the other. At a busy intersection, I saw a big screw so I leaned over, picked it up and tossed into a nearby field. Then I saw a big chunk of metal on the road a few seconds later. I picked it up and tossed it as well into the field. All in front of the traffic mostly stopped behind me. Hopefully they figure not all cyclists are butt holes ha ha ha! I know myself, I see a whole lotta respect and consideration on the road so I figure, karma knows what we do!
Surprised I felt so good after a movie yesterday with Gina, Other Mommy. The popcorn so gross that it's good ha ha ha! Shared Junior Mints and a drink. Crazy, senior prices $9 for admission, 2 of us but with the snacks, ends up being $50. Wow, talk about taking advantage of seniors ha ha ha!
A bit disappointed with the movie myself. I figured out the cause right at the beginning of the movie so it was no surprise or nothing new for me. Oh well,, Gina wanted to see it so it was a good time. Oh yeah, being like 1:30 minutes long, I told Gina I was expecting a cheesy movie kind of like those on Roku that I see pretty often. The good movies are almost 2 hours, sometimes more so 1:30, I was already expecting to be disappointed. I mean, it was ok but renting the video would have been much better than $50 ha ha ha! Plus I think microwave popcorn at home is better. 🍿
BUT !!!! The early showing, the theatre was almost empty. I think 10 other people there so it was cool having the joint mostly to ourselves.
I was actually expecting to feel like poop on the ride after yesterday. Popcorn then dinner at Red Robin which in my opinion, really sucks. I had fish and chips and Gina just a queso dip and fries. Oh yeah some shrimp. Pretty lousy dinner as far as nutrition but I think I am getting my carb intake dialed in so feeling better on the rides.
Hmmm! I never really knew there were strategies for taking in carb drinks, wafers, and, and gels until recently. When I was younger, I would just climb a mountain until my kidneys wanted to shoot our of my back. Being older I guess, I need carbs on the bike because I don't eat everything and anything like I used to do. OF course, type 2 diabetes NON MEDICATED diabetic, I try to eat better. But it seems I need more fuel while cycling 40 miles, my usual.
I always though you just ate a nutrition bar when you got hungry or when you hit your break time. I used to drink all water for the first 30 miles. Then drink a bottle of gatorade and eat a bar at break then ride back to the start, another 10 to 15 miles.
Now I see there is a strategy. Drinking a carb drink like Skratch high carb mix (least sugar drink I could find) for the first 30 minutes or so alternating with water, so carrying 2 bottles, one water, one Skratch. Sipping consistently from each keeps the carbs going through the system without any stomach issues and good absorption.
Then the waffle, eat the Honey Stinger about mid ride but DON'T DRINK THE CARB DRINK during this point as it interferes with the carb absorption and the stomach referring back to the Skratch drink. So this point, eat the waffle and drink water only to help digest the food/carbs. ONLY WATER for about 30 minutes.
Then return back to the carb drink bottle rotating with water as before.
THEN!!! The final 30minutes, WATER ONLY, no carb drink so that the remaining sugar burns and gets used through the system in order to keep the sugar count down. Pretty important part in my case not taking meds for type 2. My blood work last month was POINT 4 higher which surprised me thinking it would be lower with all the cycling but I think the fueling improperly got me. So now I know that I have to burn it out at the end of the ride cutting off the drinks on the last 30 minutes. And the Skratch stuff seems to burn clean from what I've felt. Could just be in my head but I feel it is better fuel than eating bars and solids on the ride. Maybe 1 item on the ride and the rest carb drink and as I said, Skratch being the lowest in sugar I could find with 4 grams of sugar and 4 added (whatever that means). The rest of the drinks I've considered are like 25 grams of sugar.
Too bad because the 365 drink has a starter special, like 3 pounds of powder with 5 free gels, a free flask, a free bottle, like $100 worth of stuff for $50. Useless to me but good for someone who isn't diabetic.
Wow, didn't realize there was a science behind it. I was just drinking and eating at break. Now I know the plan, pretty sure it's going to help. I have been doing close to this over the last couple of weeks having read some a week or two ago, but now it's getting more clear as to what is going on.
Pretty cool knowing how the system works and anxious to give it a try hoping to tailor my strategy so that I can keep up with all my friends.
Just reading more today with a couple of little clips but last week, read others that mention pretty much the same program and direction. Pretty cool this AI stuff, ask a question get answers and even custom tailors drink methods and programs for one's ride. Asking what my ride distance and times are, then it generates a drinking program with advice and stuff. Even tells you how many scoops to use and other stuff. 😁
Just out exercising. 2 days in a row is rare nowadays but supposed to rain 🌧 tomorrow and I was lazy this week. 🤪 Few rain drops but just enough to dirty my 😎 shades. Headed south from Encanto Park hoping to do 20 out beyond the Pico Golf course just to see if anything has happened yet. Nope! Other than boarding up the windows, all looks the same. But 17.5 miles out, started raining so I turned around heading back hoping it was still dry up north. Hmm, a few rain drops here and there so can't complain too much. Didn't really get wet.
Stopped at the Chalan rest stop for a quick visit with Omar. Always cool dude and today, a free bottle of water. He'd refused money before but I always insist on paying as it ain't free! But today, he refused as he was cleaning up so I said, "ok since you already closed the register" ha ha ha! Seems bidness was slow today with the chance of rain and the wind.
Good ride but a little upsetting seeing the nice little park at Thiennes is already getting painted up. Sadly, the fools can't leave things alone for all to appreciate any kind of effort a city makes to care for people. You want a water fountain, here's one but the idiots continue to screw things up. Of course they're probably taking it out on the city for losing their SNAP benefits ha ha ha!
Oh well, a good ride though even with the wind as seen in the video. I did go pretty easy just to get in some exercise miles. Funny though, I was riding across the dam passing some dude after I climbed the damn dam, and he didn't. I wasn't racing as usual but he took my wheel for a bit. I slowed to let him pass. Heck, I don't go out there to carry or race people. So he went around and picked it up going up the hill. I'm figuring like most fools on bikes, he thought us big guys can't push up the hills. He got about 150 yards ahead, good for him. But he made the mistake of fading ha ha ha! He must have seen me coming up again so he picked it up again getting back about 100 yards again. But hey, the top and my turn around is right there, about a half mile ahead and I'm gaining again. Being honest, I had picked it up about half way figuring if he got tired, I was going to attack him ha ha ha! He started the game so I was going to TRY to finish it. Yup, about 1/4 mile left, the steepest short section and he stands to grind up. I pushed hard and at the top,, I was only about 20 yards behind.
Here we go, gave it my all and rolled right by him, take that MOFO ha ha ha! I kept the effort and left him behind just to teach him, don't underestimate us big guys ha ha ha! I was actually surprised he was that far behind once I hit the top. A little fun time ha ha ha!
More later
The YT video
No real changes to the golf course or the surrounding trail....YET !!!
Scary sheot around the dark tunnel entrance
Kept it easy, easy HR
Awesome light, the Niterider Lumina 1400 boost headlight. First off, I like my Rock Bros lights but none have just the FAST FLASH mode. This one does and the RB only the obnoxious strobes. I do prefer the fast flash for riding in the streets during the day, a better eye catcher than solid without setting off a migraine in a driver.
Few years back, about 4 I guess, I wanted a Niterider like this but thought $90 is just too much seeing I had Cygolites that worked well. But I found a Boost 100 on the trail, the SART. And yes, I did post it on Strava, forums, the blog, & facebook just in case someone happened to see it and claim it. I would have been happy to return it. I know I'd be upset if I lost it. It was totally dead so I thought it was broken but once charged, it worked well. Score!
I ended up buying a more expensive Cygolite but very disappointing compared to NR and RB models. Heck, $75 just siting in a drawer now, not even in my light box collection. And I really liked the NR I found but it has an old style minu USB (I think that's what it's called) and it acts a little whacky sometimes having to use just the right power chord or else.... So I saw this one on ebay and $90, from an 100 to a 1400, no big deal but I like the C chord plug. So I ordered it knowing how much I liked the first one. Tried it out on this ride and pretty cool! Very bright, I'm happy!
OK, now the stupid e-bikers! I have said many times and will say it again and again, I WILL NEVER RIDE AN E-BIKE. I will never and if I did, which I never will but if I happened to someday, but I never will, I WOULD NOT BE BOASTING ON THE NET ABOUT JOW MANY MILES I RODE.
My mindset is that I always have and always will be the type of person that believes in propelling my own weight under my own power, otherwise it's bull shit ha ha ha! So I say, that I WILL NEVER RIDE AN E-BIKE but those people get so upset. They say someday I'll be 60 and so pathetic that I'll need a motor. Uh, 63 and still "pedaling" my bike. I don't care what level, full throttle, little bit, any bike with a motor is not 100% propelling one's own weight. If I ever get too old to ride my bike 60 miles, I'll ride 40. If I can't do 40, I'll do 20. If I can't do 20, I'll do 10. If I can't do 10, I'll take up walking but you will never see me on a bike with a motor. A wheelchair? Yeah if I had to use a motor on a wheelchair, yeah I would but you would not catch me boasting on the net how far I walked. 😒
But as much as they whine day after day claiming to have equaled the efforts and achievements of people actually riding their bikes, BS and they can't accept the fact that someone says they will never ride an e-bike without throwing a tantrum.
I have said many times, if you feel it is for you, great. If you are physically limited, then great for you but even if I am ever limited, I will not ride an e-bike. They get so upset and just, maybe even more judgmental as cyclists who dislike e-bikers. The pot calling the kettle black.
Soi a lady didn't like my opinion so she jumped in and said that she rides e-bikes BUT HAS PEDALED AN ACTUAL BIKE JUST AS MUCH, MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN I HAVE ON HER PEDAL BIKE ALONE. She was foolish enough to post a link to her Strava. I guess she was trying to impress me with stats but that backfired ha ha ha!
Remember, she said AS MUCH OR MORE ON HER PEDAL BIKE ALONE without the mileage of her e-bike added in to the mix. Ok, she had like 15,000 miles on Stava and I have almost 45,000 all time miles.
2026, I have almost 3500 and she had about 1200. I looked at her rides and 3/4 of them were e-bikes so where is the TOPPING my 3500 she claims on a pedal bike? 400'ish miles?? Are you serious??? 😆😁😆
Then I look at her rides on a previous month as she has one high mileage month. THERE IS A RIDE THAT STATES 270 miles in 7 hours. WHAAAAAT THE FFFFFFF?!?!?! 😆😁😆 I asked her abou tit and then she says I'm accusing her of lying. OK, now if you can do 270 miles in 7 hours, she should be leading Tadej Pogacar across the Pyrenees in the Tour De France ha ha ha!
I'm sorry, but too many e-bikers are either fools or full of sheot ha ha ha!
Her mileage, lots of empty months there so she thinks she did more mileage than I did riding 7 months out of the year. 😆😁😆 KEEPING IN MIND, about 3/4 of her miles are on an e-bike.
My stats, no BS! I ride 99% if my rides alone and under my own power, no motors! Of course plenty of other riders doing more mileage than I but I'm not stupid enough to call them out. Fools!
Actually Emmitt S. From Strava. New rider but very serious and determined. Cool Dude 😎 Met at the Peck Rd Water Conservation Park having a good chat. New socks from Aerotech so had to try them out. 3 for $20 but of course shipping takes it close to 30. But decent socks. Gina likes them, said they're soft. 😁 Of course I had to snap a few pics of the socks in action. Pretty much the Emerald Necklace loop, out and back.
Dude Emmitt was really cool. Only cycling 4 months and already doing some really good rides. 70 and 100 coming up in a week or two. Seemed really excited about cycling, good for him! Exchanged kudos on Strava but I noticed he was not on the fly bys. So I mentioned it figuring he would get a kick out of it being new to Strava as well and having a lotta friends already. He didn't know about it so he said he's going to look into it.
New Aerotech shorts and socks.
I have to say good things about Aerotech customer service. Honestly, I was a little upset because I ordered solid black socks but some reason, they sent white with black stripes. Felt like I was back in the 1970's ha ha ha! Immediately I sent an email to one of the reps and not a nice one I have to say. The second he got it, he said they were sending out the correct 3 pair of socks and a return label so that I could send the incorrect shipment back.
I was really happy because some of the other things I have ordered on the net that turned out incorrect, I would have to send back, have it processed and approved then they would send the correct item. I call bull sheot on this method. I mentioned it to the CS rep, I said it was there freaking mistake and I was going to have to wait 3 weeks now for the process? He was great, sent and email immediately stating they were sending out the correct socks that day. Awesome, no waiting like I thought and 3 days later, there they are on the doorstep. Appreciated !!!
So of course, another email with a %15 discount on the 8+ hour shorts? I ordered a 3rd pair. The first two felt so good that Gina suggested I order another pair. Who and I to argue?
I had a good time with the first Black Bibs I ordered with the red pad. Felt good but the next order I got was a green new updated pad. Just can't LIKE that one! It seems to stick on my skin. You know what it's like having a pad stick to your balls for 40 miles? Ha ha ha! This Aerotech pad is rather slick and much more comfy. Of course $119 vs the $35 of the Black Bibs. Seemed worth it with the first couple pair but the new style, like I said, I just can't like the pad and like Gina says, even at 3 times the price, it's worth it if they work and feel much better. Who am I to argue? 😆😁😆
