Duct tape works great to cover the mesh parts of bike shoes, I wrap duct tape on each of the Co2 air containers in my seat bag. This keeps em quiet and you have a stash of duct tape for such instances. A couple other uses include patching a tear in a tire (place the duct tape on the inside of the tire before fitting a new tube) securing a broken spoke to the spoke next to it so you can ride home. I have also used it to secure torn bar tape.<br />

No more arriving at work sweating profusely, yet not having to get up 10 minutes early to allow for the extra time needed for dressing in multiple layers. Also, soon I get to use my obnoxiously bright lights again.<br/> <br/>
It's one of the advantages of riding year round: Your awareness of the seasonal changes increases manifold.</div>

Pee Wee, I made up some more gaitors last night and a couple of balaclavas as well. I'm in Logan Square if you are interested in picking them up this week.

Rode the Apple Cider Century on Sunday. Stayed warm all but my feet. Forgot that those cool and breezy MTB shoes that are so comfy on a hot summer ride don't work so well in the mid-forties. Because I didn't remember toe covers or heavier socks, I had toecicles for the first 30 miles or so.

Glad to help. I distributed all of the extras at Lee's bike ride yesterday but I am sure I can scrounge up a few from our couch cushions. Send me at email at gin_kilgore @ yahoo dot com to arrange a pick up time.<br />
<br />
Which reminds me to get on it in terms of tapping into all the energy to host fleece cutting parties.<br />

So, despite being the weather nerd, I was unprepared this morning. No rain jacket. But my son had on his rain poncho for the bike seat, so he was OK. And I never felt like I was getting wet, just damp. Good for the skin! ;-)

Nice weather but those 6 pm-ish sun setting directly in my eyes, not so much.
