    Is Expensive Cycling Apparel Really Worth It, or Is It Just Hype?

    I wear safety glasses at least. I had something get in my eye a few years ago and it was so bad I couldn't drive for a week. So, I'll always wear something now.

    What are you doing for New Year?

    Man, it does wonder for me as far as leg strength goes. I have some pretty powerful legs. Waist up? I could stand to lose a few pounds LOL

    If you find something good for the ears and face/head, let me know. That's where I struggle the most.

    How many miles in 2024?

    I had a goal of 2,000. I only got 1,200 but that's more than 2023. Buying the gravel bike had made me want to ride more. This year I'm going to do that. I might even get a trainer and figure out how to ride in the house somewhere.

    Rain gear

    Summer rain around here is fine for me to ride in though I like to stay off the main roads because of the crazy drivers.
