One of my cycling friends has a house on Mallorca. One of these years I want to go and do the 312.

my pearl izumi gloves never did me wrong last winter. I forgot what they are. cyclone maybe.
Coldest day was 15 degrees.
I think this year the issue is going to be keeping my knee warm. I guess on my left leg I will wear a knee warmer under my tights.
Got on the bike today. I felt fresh and knee wasn’t feeling off. I was maintaining about 20 mph without much effort. I got passed by a small group going 25 so decided to stay with them. Hung on for about 8 mins and then my knee started to burn so I fell off.
Now i’m wondering if it was the icy hot that I was feeling.
I wanted to ride outside but was concerned it would start hurting when I was far away and have to ride all the way back.

I ordered a 24" TV for zwifting. Since Lappy is going to be put out to pasture. Should be here on Wednesday. I also purchased a wall mount that I am going to adapt to my old bike mechanic stand. I should be able to move the fan in front of the stand, better airflow!
I can't wait to start wading through the set up process! (Yep, sarcasm)

That said, I am going to postpone my Zwifting as long as possible. I expect sometime in December or January we will have snow/ice and I will have to surrender to the Borg.

What really cracks me up is that Rueben wears a small and measures 6'. He must be one skinny ass dude as I'm 6', not overweight, and wear an XL in that brand.

Oooh. I can get a Rapha Core jersey in an XL for only $60 from REI. Would have to pull the trigger today. Available colors are black and pink.

Some of their stuff is really stretchy, though, and there's also the how-clingy-are-you-comfortable-with? factor. I'm just under 6'. When I was in the low 190s, their Classic Fit stuff (Core, Classic, Brevet, IIRC) was form-fitting but not tight on me in a Large. At my current weight, it's a little too flappy for me, at speed; I might avail myself to their Size-Down program on a couple of Core jerseys. The Pro Team stuff is really stretchy - Mediums fit me if you're of the "if it zips, it fits" philosophy, but I'm a little more comfortable (read: less self-conscious) in a Large.

Is that the light-skinned guy? If so, yeah, he's odd. He doesn't look like a 6-footer, and he doesn't look that skinny... If he's 6', he looks like he'd be 175lbs+, based on proportions, and I don't think that's Small territory.

The neopro jerseys are great in hot weather.

But yeah, I've been debating using that 20% off at REI on some Rapha bibs... I think that I'm going to pass, for now. They usually dole out those 20% coupons in March, too, right? I mean, it's not like I'm going to need more bibs shorts before then.

Hmmmm... it says "this year." If that's the case, I won't be able to take advantage on my Core jerseys, but I've got two Pro Team Training jerseys that I might be able to downsize in the spring.

Six feet in a small would need to weigh like 140 for Rapha
