Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Pcad needs a horn section, for sure.

Yep. I really hope it fits well. I hate wrinkles.

I also used my Rapha 20% code today. Pink lightweight souplese jersey plus a black long sleeve merino base layer. I wear those merino base layers pretty much every ride in winter. Mostly the long sleeve T neck version. It really helps the laundry flow to have two. But somehow for the non-T-neck version, I only had one. Until now. That wrong has been righted.

I now officially have enough jerseys.

For now.

Looking at the sizing chart, I am afraid the small jersey might be too big and they have no XS.

Because the trainer is awesome and loves us.

Though frankly I haven't been on the KICKR in months. Need to fix that. Maybe on the Fourth, when the gym is closed.

What about the pot belly? Just slit the lower front open to accommodate?

How is it? I'll probably put it on my Steam wishlist and wait for sale notifications. More looking forward to Dishonored 2, though.

It says 37 1/2 chest. Pretty sure I'm more in the 35 range but I haven't measured in ages. The only other aero jersey I have (from Ornot), I had to exchange an S for XS.

I was looking at the bibs, but the cheaper ones seem to have that horrible silicone band.

I hate the waistband on shorts because it always moves things around in an unflattering manner. I wonder if I'd like bibs.

And if you only have a 35" chest then you are a waif.

I wasn't sure how to choose a size. Their sizing advisor widget suggested I get a small. But when I look at their size chart & compare the numbers to the size charts for jerseys that I know fit me well, their medium was a little smaller than the size I usually order. In other words, their jerseys appear to run small.

So I went with a woman's medium. Hopefully no wrinkles!

Counter strike? If so no. I don't do multiplayer.

It's your standard FPS. My favorite type of gaming.

*sigh* So disappointing. We can't even get to 4,000. Last month we did 5,100. Shameful!
