Got myself a bottle of hammer espresso gels for the ride tomorrow; as well as Craft Siberian full-finger gloves (on sale) for the upcoming "winter". Sometimes I wonder whether aligning my SoCal winter bike clothing based on my Stagecoach century experience is such a wise decision.

Since my car needed new tires and I felt a little guilty for ignoring it in all my bike hoopla and excitement this past year, I took the chance to upgrade and got a set of these for it -

hello
Thread Starter
I bought 2 vests last season and I like them both. PI Optik vest and a Gore Bikewear Helium vest. I tend to burn up in full jackets, even the light ones like the Optik which I also have.

Just purchased ( on steap and Cheap) a pair of Oakley Mtb shorts, $27 with shipping!
Their "Burnt Orange" which is probably why they cost $20 instead of $80....
I need a pair, and the price is right.....
Now if they arrive in time I'll be sporting a pair of new shorts this weekend!
SCORE!!

Does anyone have the Coppi/Anquetil DVD that World Cycling (and others) sells? I'd love to borrow a copy... or I'd even buy it from WCP if someone told me it was fantastic.

IMO no windproof jackey is truly breathable enough to avoid sweating and burning up.
Layers with a vest is the way to go. At the Stagecoach I wore a long sleeve base layer, short sleeve jersey and a vest. I was as warm as anyone could be under the circumstances.

Silliest purchase ever. $15 for a titanium recessed brake nut.
I needed a longer nut to mount my brakes to a carbon fork - and this was all the LBS had. 
I wasn't willing to go driving around to find a steel one.Who would go out of their way to buy stupid %$@# like this? How much weight could it possibly save? 1 gram?

I used to have a couple of nuts you could borrow....they were brass, though.
Nice nuts, D.
