Let's see... although the weather has been horrible for the past month, I have been able to get quite a few rides in anyway. Of course, this usually means that I start out the ride with dry gear and by the time I'm done I'm pretty wet. What I find is that as long as my core (torso) is able to stay warm and dry, I'm usually in pretty good shape and pretty good spirits too.
Gloomy weather just makes me (and everyone, I'm finding) CRANKY. Add to that the pressure of my upcoming multi-day ride, Go Greenbelt on April 23-29th and worrying about rain that week, and I am just pretty stir crazy. I can't even worry about ALC 5 at this point because I've just got to get through the week long ride known as the Go Greenbelt Ride.
I went out and bought some waterproof socks and gloves, made by Sealskinz. I will ride with them on this Friday and see how water tight they actually are. I can ride in wet gear, but once my feet get wet and cold it's all over. Having water slosh around in your shoes as you pedal is no fun!
About 2 weeks ago, I put the idea out to a huge group of AIDS Lifecycle riders, that we should all wear this jersey on Day 4 because Day 4 is the day we do Evil Twins:
So far about 20+ people have ordered so this should be a fun "Day Four" on ALC 5. You can order it in Men's or Women's sizes at Team Estrogen's website: http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=19995
If you are an ALC rider reading this, join us! Can't wait to see what 2700 people look like wearing the same jersey! LOL!
I emailed customer service at Team Estrogen to tell them I had suggested this and this is what they wrote back to me:
"Wow, thanks for sending us so many customers! We're glad you wrote because
for the past week we've been trying to figure out why there was such a high
demand and also why everyone purchasing the South Park jerseys were from
California! Now we know! :)"
Anyhow, I'm all about looking like a team. And I like the obnoxiousness of it all....
