I don't have a problem with people wearing team kits as I do it myself. I don't wear them when not riding for several reasons including but not limited to the coolness of spandex is inversely proportional to the distance from your bike and in Oklahoma most people are clueless and wouldn't know...
Decided that if in fact the weatherman happened to be right on a random chance it wouldn't be that bad. That was the thought prior to having to ride home in a driving rain that felt like needles and the flash flood waters that were as deep as my BB.
Thanks for the post as I am in a similar situation (age, size, speed, and ride quantity) and the info has been good. I am riding about the same pace and had the same questions. I am looking forward to the replies on interval training.
The only way I can explain it where most of my buddies can understand it is to compare it to the NASCAR Sprint Cup series:eek: At least they can understand the concept of winning a competition over time. Regarding tactics they don't get it but I don't get NASCAR either
