Help! I'm becoming a LYCRA convert!!!
I bought some shorts for my upcoming century.
Yesterday, I rode 16 miles home in a good stiff plastic-bags-n-trash-a-flyin' quartering headwind last night, half with the kid on the back.
It was still a hike, but the wind wasn't as soul-killing as it otherwise would have been.
Some people are said to be a little too heavy to wear lycra. I may very well be too skinny.
