Actually, I'm reminded of a magazine like Sports Illustrated. I remember seeing a pic in their "odd photos" or whatever at the time. Bunch of guys... a peloton I think you guys call 'em. Anyway, one bloke has his slug out and watering the horses and everyone else. Damned funny pic.

That'll make you blind.

FYI the best ride I did at HHH was wearing a base layer (mesh) much cooler than
without.

Boy did this thread get out of hand!

One solution wear the bibs under your jersey. Drop the straps off the shoulders and let them fall to your elbows. Then you can pull the front down sufficient to do #1 (almost) naturally. Jump up and down to take care of drips. I can't help you with #2. so please don't ask.

No. I don't wear straps over the shirt. I wear them under. I reach under the shirt and pull the straps over my shoulders. They will drop down to the elbow and be trapped there by the shirt. (Ladies, you know what I am talking about)

Giordana bibs. They're low up front, and really stretchy.

pfft don't worry about the drip unless your bib shorts are light pink or white or sumthing, can't nobody see the drip and if they do you've got you're package to close to their face which just ain't nice (unless requested)

just as they say, pull up your jersey, pull down the front of the bib short, and take out your ducky, and bend forward a little and you can go pee, nothing to it, its not a rocket science to do it

I don't. Unless you count body hair.
