Of course, if that's not allowed, we'll find out soon enough.

Re: tights....not that you should do what I do, but here is what I use:
1. Cheapo "runner's" tights from scam-bay which go over my bibs, perfect for temps 40-60.
2. Thicker thermal tights from Performance which have a thin windproof coating, which are ideal for temps 25-40.
3. If under 25, I wear the thin runner's tights UNDER the thermal tights. That has me covered down to 10F which is as cold as it ever gets around here.

) has me hesitating on them. They're still spendy, even on sale. I still might do them, but I'm going to check out some options at REI, Sierra, etc, first. There are 4x of the Rapha available, so I can prolly take at least a few days to make the decision.

I don't see why not, since the site is gone. Social Cyclist actually had a huge following, especially for a new site. It was different, yet the same, if that makes sense. One banned member from here, threw that straight in the trash. When Tom was on there, he appreciated it because he could be himself, and not "admin". This certain member stated how displeased he was with BF, and how unfairly he thought he was treated, in a terrible way. He went way over the top on Tom. (I thought) Activity dropped quickly, after that.

I've lost 40# and am just below the morbid obese level. Now, I'm just merely overweight and too fat for this sport. 
Last April, my doc gave me 6 months to get my act together or start Metformin so my family doc wanted me to watch my sugars and starches. I also have radiation damage to my intestines and rear end, I'll spare you the details, but my gastro guy also started me on a special diet and it's been great for my gastro problems but the two diets don't always mesh well. Basically, I have a relatively sparse menu to choose from and I'm basically a vegi-turkian and even then, I have to avoid a lot of veggies and fruits.
Besides the 40#, my A1C has fallen a whole number to 5.6 since April. I see my doc tomorrow but she already called me last week to congratulate me with the results. I didn't tell her about the weight loss so maybe I'll get kudos and a lollipop tomorrow for that, too.
I've got some other relatively serious issues but I feel great at the moment and enjoy every day.
