It was about 40 with a little sleet for today's CX race. The sun came out for my race. Arm warmers and tights weather. No jacket required.

I wear wool t-shirts for about three days when I’m racing offshore or cruising, and then just wash them in a bucket with some dish soap. Barely any stank.

Just noticed I am approaching 4,000 posts. The amount of quality contained therein is staggering.

Summers in PHX have made me think that underwear might be the next article that needs to be wool or nothing.

A parts bin build. This is the frameset that brought me to BF. It was a roadbike then. It's the first model Schwinn imported from Giant, in 1978. Nowhere on the bike is the name "Schwinn" 1020 Hi-Ten

Yup. I won't buy any socks or underwear that aren't wool. Rapha had some merino boxers in the Archive Sale recently for $25. I should have picked some up.

Wool socks are simply essential.

I was once driving to my sister's house in NY on I 84 on a wet drizzly day during early winter. I had reached Danbury, Connecticut just during rush hour as the sun was setting. I knew the road surface was turning to ice with every passing minute but no one was slowing down even a little bit. With such heavy traffic I was afraid to drive much slower than everyone else so my heart was working hard. Not too unexpectedly, a car just ahead suddenly spun out of control and was crosswise in my path. I did manage to get around by a miracle but my lifespan took a hit. This time of year especially we need to drive our own vehicles as well as those around us within striking distance.

For the record, the chain that I broke a few weeks ago on my Propel was a KMC X11 SL. Came off of Amazon. Wasn’t there a thread recently warning of counterfeit KMC chains?
