I've never took too much notice till now but with the winter weather most of the Spanish have leggings of some sort on up here.. can't remember what they were wearing when its summer time.
You got me thinking now..
Boon maybe you could get a lighter short than my Humvee's which are quite heavy. I can't imagine trying to ride in Spanish heat in three quarters I must amit - I'd have thought lycra is your best bet after all, tbh.
YI might be making hard work of this when the road gear I have aint too bad really, but being new to this I didn't start riding till the end of this summer in October and I've not rode all summer with bare legs in 40c heat.
You have all that to look forward to, then. Out early, back early is the key.
Sorry, I forgot to answer your other question. If you really like the saddle on your road bike, try it on you MTB. If you still really like it on the MTB, get one the same. That's what I did!
Have a look at a WTB Rocket V or Race V. Lovely saddles.
I wear lycra bibshorts under MTB baggies. I like my Endura Humvees... pocketses for my precious things. Although in high summer I just wear bibshorts. Windproof tights if it's less than 5/6 degrees.
PS.. Might be able to have a ride out at some time in the spring as I could my chuck my bike in the back of the car and have a wander down your way..
Sorry, I missed this.
Yes, it sounds like a great idea. It would be nice to have some English-speaking company, rather than the Spanish men who seem to attach themselves to me on some of my rides!
