    Yeah, heat management is the hardest thing about riding during the summer

    I think there was a good group not exactly sure how man.

    Worst Weather

    I hate wet due to the amount of damage it does to your drivetrain. From a physical perspective hot and humid is so exhausting.

    Are we ever going to catch a break?

    I prefer to run in the rain v riding in the rain. I can run on sidewalks

    Depends on what you mean bad. Wet, wind, hot, humid? All have been bad.

    Superman Ride Thoughts

    The weather was bad that morning. It also took place on the day the RAIL ride existed.

    What's your biggest cycling weakness?

    practice makes perfect. do more practice braking, that should help you feel more comfortable going downhill as you will have the confidence that you can get the biked stopped if needed.

    Are we ever going to catch a break?

    I've lucked out. most of my rides this year have been outside, just try to sneak out between the rain. I'll be on the trainer tonight though for sure.

    Padded versus Unpadded (Tights)

    Depends on what's clean. I prefer my bib tights, but i will do bibs under tights.

    What's your biggest cycling weakness?

    For sure Scott! Riding more is always the solution. I also hate going uphill, but there's really no good way to get better, but doing it.

    What's your biggest cycling weakness?

    That was my power profile for the longest time. Since then I have found that specific effort doesn't do me much good in a race. I focus now on 3-5 min power, and being able to do it all day long. All that being said, yea pushing above where you're capable does require these near threshold...

    What's your biggest cycling weakness?

    If you're worried about speed, definitely just go do some group rides. It will help you get more comfortable at higher speeds for similar efforts. My biggest weakness is my brain. Haven't found a way around that.

    How was the Glen Vegas Race?

    It could be that way for sure

    Cotton Crochet Cycling Gloves

    I don't get any shock on the road or gravel, but being on MTB trails i will.

    How was the Glen Vegas Race?

    It's usually about once a quarter. I'm not sure what causes it, but I have some theories, mostly around travel.

    Cotton Crochet Cycling Gloves

    I don't really see the point. I'll either go barehanded (if I really don't anticipate a wreck, i.e. training ride) or full finger gloves (material dependent on season) if i'm racing or MTBing

    How was the Glen Vegas Race?
