Shorts or Bibs on Day One?
Riding in the MS150 tomorrow and Sunday.
Day one is about 100 miles, mostly flat. Day two is 70-80 miles of hills.
I have a pair of shorts and 1 pair of bibs - which should I wear day one/two?
Bibs better fit for the tougher second day, maybe?

Since I got my first pair of bibs 8 months ago, I haven't worn my 5-6 pair of shorts (up to 9 years old)since, just a matter of time before they go in the dumper, just can't seem to part with them.

I'd go out and buy a second pair of bibs.

What are these 'shorts' you speak of?
I'd wash my bibs and let 'em dry. Or I'd get a second pair. I really don't wear my shorts much anymore.

I'll wear shorts once in awhile to use the weight machine and occasionally when the bike is on the trainer. Any outdoor ride calls for bibs in my view.
