Not to say the brands they carry are bad, it's just that American sizes don't usually fit me and I find the Euro makers use better fabrics. I order from Team Cyclist a lot (and a few ebay sellers I've bookmarked.)

BTW, if you guys need apparel reviews, you have to start posting them with your own threads!

Careful how you use that word. Ever since Indolent's ride, the term "slacker" has come to mean "24mph Hammerhead"

Don't blame me. I tried. At least we had lots of long stops making the total average speed really slow.

Nonsense, Jeff. That isn't embarrassing at all. You're a strong rider and your rides have been quality based.

thanks for the kind words to me the numbers are deceiving though compared to other yrs. Doens't help when I had 2 jobs for most of the yr either. That really cut into my riding time. But that will all change next week.
