Re: [RBW] Re: Since we're talking about rides tomorrow..
I ride in the 90's all summer long with wool, so never new I was braking a cycling rule. Shame on me! Just bought some Zoic MTB shorts, too. Like 'em a lot! A bit longer than MUSA shorts, which is a plus. I think the MUSAs have better material and more bar stitches though.

Re: [RBW] Re: Since we're talking about rides tomorrow..
I've used this very same line, "Don't sheep have to wear wool year round?" Wool works great when it's hot. It dissipates sweat better and doesn't abrade sensitive skin areas like micro fiber can. I usually wear wool shorts too, but had on ZOIC MTBs this time.

Re: [RBW] Re: Since we're talking about rides tomorrow..
Several of us braved the heat and humidity for the ride to Selma. The Ram reminded me again why the 6,000+ miles on it have been so enjoyable. As comfy at the end as at the start. Wore a Swobo jersey, and got plenty of snickers from the lycra crowd too.

RE: [RBW] Re: Since we're talking about rides tomorrow..
Hey Ralph, --- I'm up here at Osage Beach (MO), very hilly, no really good roads to ride, --- I did 20 km this morning just to cheer you on your way. Riv content. On the riv of course. Munger Moss is a nice ride. Breeze is from the S here, you should have a nice day, hopefully not too much wind. jd > Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2010 21:52:45 -0700 > Subject: [RBW] Re: Since we're talking about rides tomorrow.. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > I'm sure you'll finish, so, congratulations Ralph! > > On Jun 11, 7:27 pm, "Ralph Rognstad Jr." > wrote: > > I am also riding a 200K permanent tomorrow.

I am also riding a 200K permanent tomorrow. The Munger Moss Route 66. I will be on my Canti Rom. When I finish, I will qualify for the RUSA R-12 award.
