I don't really care if Oliver Garden is italian or not. What I do care about is their breadsticks. And for some reason they think it's acceptable to bring a basket of 3 when my girlfriend and I go there. 3 is an insult. Then when I finish the 3 in a handful of seconds, they bring me 2 or 3 more. Another insult. 10 minimum.

I don't have access to New York pizza, but a couple of the good mom and pop places make a pretty decent pizza. It's more like $30 for a pizza, but if the cost is 4 times Domino's, the taste is worth 10x.

Looks like a Domino's special to me. I was just talking to my wife about them this morning because we had a door hanger advertisement. $8 for a large pizza delivered to your house. So when you add it all up, how much do they have invested in the actual product? Maybe $1? That's a crap food product.

Does long underwear under tights limit range of motion or hamper it in any way due to the added layer? Deciding what to wear for this weekend's race, looks like temps in the morning will be at the freezing mark.

Wear bibs or shorts under unpadded tights or wear thermal padded tights.
Also 32 deg during a race? You should be fine wearing shorts and tights over them. Thermals are good to like 15 degrees if not slightly lower.

if you're cold racing at/around/under 32°F in tights, then you're not doing it right.

at that kind of temp, i'd wear leg warmers, bibshorts, ls base layer, jersey, vest, arm warmers, full length gloves, and shoe covers. I probably wouldn't wear a hat under my helmet, but would consider wearing a cycling cap, and i'd probably put petroleum jelly on my face and ears.

If it gets super cold I have fleece lined bibs that I wear with leg warmers. Otherwise regular bib and leg/knee warmers. It's not going to be anywhere near cold enough this weekend for a conversation about multiple leg layers.

My main HD died on my work laptop so I went and bought a SSD. I was looking at the 500gig one but they only had 256. I have another HDD in the laptop for storage so I'll use that but was still a bit irked cause the 500g was $300 while the 256 was $170...Bleh.
Reinstalling crap has been a horrible experience and for the life of me I can't get past this stupid Visual Studio 2013 installation. Some damn SSL handshake bs. I moved the time back on my laptop and nothing! Ugh, I'll figure this out tomorrow when I actually need to use VS again.

I talked myself into the Olive Garden as one of the few places by my Mom's house. I had something, I forget what. Something chicken over pasta. It was so sweet it was like candied chicken over pasta. I don't know what I expected really, at Olive Garden.

Leg warmers or light tights should be more than warm enough.

Best pizza I've had hands down is deep dish in Chicago. The stuff in NYC was okay.
