Speaking of sneakers, my dad used to call them "tenny runners" and I've never heard anyone else do that.Was it a Nebraska thing?

Do you mean a chamois as opposed to more modern padding? I've worn both. Should I go put in my two cents?

Never mind. LoP says the shorts don't have real chamois in them. Not sure that should stop me from chiming in though.

Bah - I thought that I'd responded to this, but forgot that my computer had crashed before 'submit.'
Anywho, I think that it could really pop with the right paint job - think Baum or the aforementioned Ritte - but it's just a little too plain for my tastes, as-is.

Seems to be a cold front blowing in. And upon checking the forecast, yes. 78/64 on Saturday. By our standards that is cold, esoecially the 64 part. The sleeping bag will come out. Maybe the rain will cease.
Edit: It's raining

A midwest thing, perhaps? My dad would say "tenny rompers." I guess because tennis shoes left too little too the imagination? We're in Kansas, although my dad spent his formative years in Arkansas.

I was all type-1 fiber and never had any speed at all, just willingness to suffer. XC is also the ultimate collegiate varsity nerd sport. Half the football offense came out for track and ruined it for us 3-milers.
And just to qualify, we are talking Div III, here.
P.S., Holy crap, you're old! College XC? I was in elementary school and all I remember is all the talk on the subway ride home and the day off the next day to watch the obsequies on TV.

Sixty two no less.
But my mojo does appear to be working. So there is that.
