something else crossing the club ride yesterday - a pair of large women.  I 
had already peeled my windbreaker, but was still wearing my knee socks, and 
they would get swapped for merino footies at my halfway stop.  But this 
woman looked at me and burst out laughing at my togs - knickers, knee 
socks, a red merino long-sleeve with a yellow tee over it - it really 
wasn't for them to see me, it was for pickup trucks.  The club leader 
always wears crazy hats - yesterday it was a headdress of colored feathers 
like a comic bird crest.  I guess she thought I was part of the show.  I 
would have cried for her, but her spandex was already crying.
