Thanks for the heads-up. Hadn't even thought of that. I've used them on
the ride to Mt. Vernon in the past. Hoping to do the counter-clockwise
loop this time. (It's one I did multiple times when I was out there in
2008). And Tom, thanks for the list of other shops. Didn't know Big

Cribbing a sheet from Ocean Air Cycles, I decided that if I loved sub
24-hour overnight trips so much, one way to fit more things like that in my
schedule is to fit smaller rides in (like mortar between logs in a cabin
or, more appropriately, cedar shims in a door frame).

I think I'd end up needing weeks to recover. But yes, it isn't necessarily

Thank you all for the advice. Today, I went to REI (really expensive items)
and bought a pair of REI branded softshell trousers. Windproof to 25 mph

Be sure to let us see the runway photos when you've made some. Seriously,

Winter riding attire can be quite a fashion statement. My preferred cool to
cold weather bottoms are shorts with different weights of capilene long
underwear layered underneath. It probably doesn't help my look that I also
tend to wear my oldest and most tattered shorts in this ensemble.
