It's a steady rain up here in Santa Clara. Hopefully it's dry by the time I drive down this Saturday.

Y-fricken-ay.

Awww.. Jeff, ya got me all excited and it's not even Friday!!!
I got back from a 40-miler. There was cloud cover so it was not as cold as it had been. Tights, LS base layer and SS jersey was all today. Hooked up with some guys heading towards the Pier Ride. I just noticed some snot shrapnel on my tights. At best, I hope it's mine.

At least with solid crusties, you generally know where they're headed...but when it shoots out in a spray at 25 mph...it can get all over your shoulder, arm, cheek, ear, helmet, glasses, legs, bike...Then, of course, you use your gloves to wipe it off, then hit a pothole and grab your bars...so now you've got snotbars to deal with.

I found it a tad cooler this morning than yesterday out here. Yesterday I was out in short sleeves before the sun rose.

I prefer more subtleness. The style of the shot doesn't look very classy. No offense though; just my opinion.

Your wife accidentally washed it, or you accidentally left it in a pocket?

Weird seeing photos of the new Discovery/Astana Team
"Despite being full members of Astana, contractual agreements keep the Disco riders in their 2007 kits until the end of the calendar year."
Reminds me of what my buddy went through a few weeks ago. While at a computer convention back east, he saw a CSC booth and sitting inside was David Zabriskie. The computer nerds completely ignored him, having no idea who the skinny guy was, much less that he was no longer riding with CSC. (I guess since he's still obligated to wear the colors til the end of the year.)
So my friend sat down next to DZ and had a long, friendly chat about cycling.

Oh...hi...you're back.
I never would have imagined that kit color made a difference...I though a conniption fit might have occurred at the sight of knit and cycling caps/un-helmetted noggins.

ps. the guy on the left in the back is mid-snotrocket. I'm sure the people in the car behind him are super pleased at their good fortune.
