I just got back from 17 miles mostly off road, much of it sandy, riding in heavy cotton shorts and regular underwear. It never occured to me that I could be uncomfortable. I know that I am fine up to the 30 - 35 miles that is my typical long ride. Cotton polo on top. No gloves, no helmet, Carolyn Custom hat, flip up shades -- need the shades to keep my eyes from getting too red; the cap acts as sun visor and sweat collector. Riv content: My 2008 Redline Monocog 20er is set up as close to Rivendell fashion as I can make it. And I wear the same things, in summer, on my two custom fixed Riv Roads.
