Interesting observation on time/memory/recall. In the past, moved every few years. It was VERY easy to tie memories/events to where we lived at the time, so it was easy to know how long ago that happened.
We have now lived in our current house for 18 years so it's harder to "place" an event from say 3/5/8/10/12/15 years ago precisely.
That's my story and I am sticking to it. Couldn't have anything to do with being old. Right?

I recalled someone inviting me to join up there via PM (some of my antics had been noticed, appreciated and discussed there), so I just checked - I got the invite on leap day, 2012. I think that the place was dead no more than two or three years later.

I'm hand-wringing. I should get thermal tights to go over my bibs rather than get padded thermal bibs, right?

BTW I have some older bibs/shorts that have some wear spots or holes, but the chamios is fine so these are repurposed under tights in the winter.

I wonder if the name of the place is like saying Voldemort in Harry Potter...can't say its name.

Actually, there was a "spinoff" site that formed maybe 3? years ago, and it was kinda like that where you could actually swear but it was still civilized. We were not supposed to give details in here, lest we "advertise" a competitor site. The site is now defunct so maybe we can actually say its name now. Maybe. I won't unless a mod says it's ok. I am trying to maintain a semblance of good behavior.

BTW, you'd be proud of our restraint. We (wife and I) had been looking at moving, primarily to accommodate the growing children (currently sharing a room) and their growing loads of crap. After looking at the numbers, and weighing our feelings on the direction of the economy, we decided to play it conservative. We're going to stay put, make some minor renovations, pare down, sacrifice a den/office space (as a bedroom for the boy) and aggressively pay off the house, instead. The excitement of potentially moving was cool, but the immediate relief upon making the decision tells me it was the right thing to do; the prospect of having a small house paid off in 7 years is much more comforting than sprawling out and adding another couple hundred thousand dollars in obligations.
I never had, previously, but I got some thermal bib knickers through the club (pretty reasonably priced) last year and have mixed feelings about them. I do like the convenience of just popping them on. Then again, I like the idea of not buying three sets of thermal bibs to get through a week of riding; with tights, as long as it's not a messy and/or sweaty ride, I'm fine with wearing them more than once between washings (and changing the bibs under, obv).
Now I just need to decide on lightly insulated (prolly good down to the mid-20s for me) or thicker with more insulation and better wind/water resistance (prolly good in to the single digits, possibly subzero). Before, 20° used to be when I'd call it quits. I went out in colder weather than that last year, though...

92 here tomorrow. 60s by the weekend. Hoping it stays warn through next week. I want to take one of my favorite local-ish tours. Port Jervis, NY, through the NJ side of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area then continuing down the Delaware River and then home. Nice three days of riding, with a great campground along the river the first night. Saw a bear cub there last year.
Problem is that it can get quite cold at night even this early. I am talking close to freezing temps.

We had sweater weather (which I love) for most of the last couple weeks. Yesterday, a warm air mass moved through and it was 80°+ and muggy. It stormed just before bed and now we're back to sweater weather. I assume it's the same system moving in on you.

In any event, I am not a big fan of layers below the waste.

There is a spot on BF that will do as you wish. It's called Trollheim.
If you must ask, **** was turned into what it is because certain members would jump right in with that, sometimes as early as the next post after the original. It's a bull**** troll post, and the reports were getting tiresome.
Any other questions?

As you probably know, agreement on those choices is a big positive prognostic factor for a marriage. It's also the financial right answer and you won't regret it.

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.

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.
