While I was at the shop they had a wall of there bike shop name kits. I went over to look, I am all for wearing local clothing, thinking it would be some what cheap and I was way wrong. Long sleeve jersey was 85, short sleeve was 65. I am sure the quality is good, I was just shocked at the price.

Had to get up and ride home. Ribs hurt, hard to blow my nose or laugh. The worst is the pain inside the hip joint/groin area. Crap.

How does the bike ride now that you are fitted? Do you like it? Does it feel weird?

In other news, at least UT has a band (unlike KCB 
), but it's sad that it's been scaled back so much. #2020

It is extremely quiet, the view is unrestricted, hot but dry, areas where traffic was non existent.
