Had a great ride in this morning, first proper hot sunny morning so far for me and it was a joy…I even chose a whole new wardrobe for the ride!!
Which got me to noticing something.
Often, the quickest riders I spot are the types who are dressed in Jeans (with one leg rolled up) a cardigan and something irreverent like a flat cap or a cravat…something that shouts "I'm just popping to the studio on the girlf's shopping bike"…while they merrily scalp everything within a mile.
I just know that, of a weekend, these same riders shed their skin and adorn full form lycra for a 100 mile club ride…just so they can adopt their disguise and look so relaxed on their commute each morning.
Grrrgh!!
Also while I am on the subject. I spotted a very fast you girl dressed in a blouse and slacks today. At the lights you could clearly see a cycle top under her blouse…and I suspect full lycra shorts under the slacks….now that really is a good disguise!
