Also, you don't have to dress in lycra, but if you're wearing baggy clothes, they will slow you down as much as anything.
Yea... I guess I need to get into Saturday rides. Maybe group rides with the local club. And the shorts I wear are hiking shorts that are kind of baggy. I have padded shorts under but I feel like I'm riding naked [literally] if I ride with just those haha. Guess that's the point, but I suppose I just need to 'ease' myself into it hahaha.
