Went for a ride yesterday. Had my full kit on. Bibs are so freaking comfortable. Look rad, too.
We enjoyed taking up the whole right lane, as my and my two friends rode side by side and chatted for miles. Cars behind us backed up a bit, but they didnt seem to mind at all. On Sunday AMs, stop lights and red lights really dont bother us too much so we roll through without too much of a hassle. Drivers are happy to stop and let us through. Every now and again a big truck will pass and really get on the gas as they pass. Exhaust doesnt bother us too much...we are used to it and it always makes us chuckle at why these big trucks make so much noise and pump out so much exhaust just to speed up 5 MPH. Diesel is freaking expensive...why waste it like that?
Later on, we dropped the hammer and for the next 35 miles really pushed the pace, averaging a bit over 20. Finished up the ride at the bike shop where we started and enjoyed a few nice Stone IPAs before heading home to watch the NFL Playoffs.
Its was a good day.
