Back when I was in the low 200s, I couldn't fit in the largest sizes of some of the Italian brands (though I can't remember which brands, specifically). Anyway, at that point, I just gave up on Italian cycling apparel altogether and haven't looked back.

My x large castelli race level thermal jersey finally fits me the way it’s suppose to.
Wife did her first group ride today. They were all super nice, but she was red lined by the fourth mile. She hung on til about mile 7 but then we got dropped. One of the group stayed with us until about mile 12 when we decided to turn around. Wind was killer today, and yesterday she over did it with the yard work and her legs were already sore, but I think my wife got herself super worked up about riding with a group. She was nervous.
Over all we had a good time, and if you look at her on Intervals she was working hard. Hoping we can try again soon. She was beating herself up hard, felt like a failure. I think she did awesome.

He's been on Hiatus for about 3 weeks and still the leader in the clubhouse. Sad.

I got a pair of The Black Bibs $60 bibs, which fit fine, but they have the kind of pad that's extra thick over the sit bones, AND they're a bit slick, so I would slide forward on the saddle and have to push back. I guess these days saddles aren't as slick as they were 20 years ago when these Avocet saddles were made.

I feel like my crap was almost psychosomatic. Two days ago, I worried I was hosed, because walking and climbing stairs had me thinking I was done. Yesterday my TT bike ride on the trainer had me pausing a couple times to catch my Z1 breath. Today I rode (road) out, did as many threshold 6 minute intervals as I could (4), and then rode (road) home. 2 days ago, I wouldn't have been able to ride out. A two week rest week has hurt me, but I'll be OK, it seems.
The human body is amazing.

My club mate who moved back to your neighborhood a few years ago keeps wanting to break the 20 minute barrier. He has come close but no success yet. He is a decent climber IMO.

Oh, I'm always on Albuteral, and as long as it isn't over 6 puffs on race day, I'm fine.
