I just bought a Halo band yesterday, and tried it out today for the first time. I rode 33 miles, and sweat quite a bit (temp was up over 90 again). I didn't have any sweat roll into my eyes, which was great. Usually I'm pulling off my glasses and mopping my face every 5 or 10 minutes, so the band is a definite improvement. Only problem is it kind of gets in the way of my glasses.
I took it easy on my ride, only going a little over 10mph average. I was on my mtb, and adjusted the seat down to where it should be. My legs and knees aren't used to the new positioning, so I just cruized along in a lower gear than normal.
Cool thing I saw near the end of the ride was a flock of wild turkeys next to the trail. There were about 20 young uns, and 3 hens watching over them. I passed within 30 feet of them, and they barely flinched. Lots of turkeys around here, and they seem to be getting tamer all the time, kind of the way Canada geese have become in places. Good thing is they are both good eating.

I'll say no more.
