    I got in 5.2 miles this evening. I was racing my son, who was cookie frozen pizza for dinner (dinner of champions, right?). I tried to make the ride in less time than his cooking the pizza. I was over by 2 minutes.:tongue:

    What gear do you wear? My initial cycling gear only included a helmet. Then I got some cycling shorts. Now I'm thinking that I need eye protection (I am having trouble talking myslef into my ride after peeling a gnat off of my eyeball after I got home the other night).

    I always wear plastic sunglasses when riding to keep the bugs out of my eyes as they seem to be attracted to them !! I used to wear padded shorts in the summer but I bought a pair of padded trousers last week and they are so much better in this weather and I am still wearing my short sleeved cycling shirt but I need to get something warmer asap but it will still have to be high vis. I NEVER go anywhere without my helmet and I think I would rather walk than ride without one now

    What gear do you wear?

    I have padded bike shorts which really help on long rides. Bike shirt with pockets in the back for "stuff". Shoes with cleats - one pair meant for speed and another for walking. Gloves, helmet and sunglasses.

    As it get cold I add long pants, long sleeve shirt under my bike shirt, jacket, head cover, gloves with fingers. I also change to wool socks.

    I have padded shorts and I wear armored motorcycle gloves (I have them, so, why not?). No goggles because I wear prescription glasses.
