You long distance riders: what do you wear, if anything, to protect your eyes from sun, wind, dust and pollen? I dislike glasses intensely because I sweat all over them so that in very short order they become largely opaque -- as even the very well designed -- the frames sit away from the face -- R Projects got smeared today in 12 miles at 74F, 11% humidity.
I generally just wear a cycling cap for the shade (from wind as well as sun) and to act as a sweat reservoir, but then I don't ride 100 miles at a stretch. I used to give myself headaches as a lad wearing heavy glass lenses in slippery, ill fitting, blacl plastic frames when I tried to hold them on my Asian nose with my face muscles. Interesting: Armstrong, Indurain -- mostly in shades. Hinault, Merckx, Anquetil, Coppi, Bartali, Maes, Christophe, Garin -- rarely despite the much more dirt; ditto 12 time Tour winner Beryl Burton, the best cyclist in history. What gives -- Rudy P and Bolle sponsorships? -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
