    The Black Bibs Summer Kit

    I was looking on the website at the bibs...they look extremely thin on the legs. So you're saying not see-through at all? The chamois section is standard material it just looks like the difference is in the legs. Can your wife confirm that they're not see-through?

    Electronic everything...

    Seeing that it's just a patent is a good thing. They're just trying to make sure noone else gets it first. Patents don't have to work

    Anyone riding today?

    Black bottoms always, but light tops works. It also shows off some of my ink which, IMO, makes me look "cooler"

    On long trips on the motorcycle I will wear elastic with clips on each side to keep the bottom of my jean down and i wear high boots for this reason

    Same. I meal prepped homemade chipotle chicken bowls, but then I had ice cream for desert last night.

    What all bikes do you have and what's next on the list?

    That aventon looks like a good deal. I love the idea of an e-mtb because i'm not good on a MTB yet so getting comfortable going faster while not having to actually work as hard can only be a benefit.

    New to Cycling? Here Are Some Tips to Get You Started

    I don't necessarily think that is fair to you though. There are plenty of rides with different fitness level requirements. We really try to have rides that are A, B, and C groups

    Hopefully with more experience that will go away. It's something I regularly work on.

    tbf, that's why I ride disc brakes even on the road bike. It allows for more "panic braking" if needed, although you shouldn't.

    Funny story, first time I went down to the smokies I was on a motorcycle. I had 2 fears for the trip, 1) someone flicking a cigarette out of the window and it going up my leg of my pants and 2) bears falling out of trees on me. My logic skills are something

    Anyone riding today?

    I went for a ride around 5:30 last night. Just an easy 1 hour out, HR was through the roof because of the heat though. When it's that hot, just start the ride with at least one extra "pouring bottle", and make sure your water is cold when you leave the house. I did a race down in MS last...

    Looking to get a bike computer

    I'm still running a Garmin 520. Physical buttons, no touch screen, crappy maps function. I'm in the market for an upgrade soon too. I typically keep equipment for a long time so I would like to get something for all my riding/racing/bikepacking. I was looking at the 540, not the solar though, it...

    Anyone been to the Smokies?

    I've been a few times. Never for hiking or mtb but there is a pretty good breakfast joint there in Sevierville called Applewood Farmhouse Grill. Worth a stop if you're in the area for breakfast/lunch. I think where you're staying is pretty good. You could easily pop down to Tapoco/Fontana...

    Do you refuse to mountain bike in the summer months?

    For me it's simply the low speeds and hot temps that kill me. I'll do it, but man its the benefit of road riding. 18+mph is better than 8-10 mph at the same effort.
