New Cycling Shoes

When I ride to work - I typically will just pack one pair of shoes for the day.

Yesterday as I was packing up getting ready to head out for work it did not occur to me that I might need another pair of shoes. It also did not occur to me to ask Tom to bring me a pair of shoes...I had given him a short list of items that I would need to repack my repair kit (darn flat). It only occurred to me as I was getting changed into my cycling clothes that I did not have any comfortable shoes to walk around in while waiting to start the Time Trial. Oh well. I improvised...nice look huh.

This shot is just in case you want a closer look at these gams. I think that the bright socks really make the outfit.

Fashionable Commuting

A few months ago I was looking for a new backpack to use while bike commuting this summer. One of the links went to the fatcyclist website - he is AWESOME! On this particular post he had reviewed a pack by Banjo Brothers and I was immediately interested. I waited all summer to order it and now that I have it, I can't wait to use it! If you take a look at the fatcyclist post you will see all the cool features the pack has. I'm pretty excited that there are still a few days left when I can use it. The best part is that it is waterproof - as if I would be riding to work in the rain. I love the reflective strips on the back...I don't know how anyone could miss those!

Today is my day off of my bike and running...so I will be trying this out tomorrow and possibly check out the waterproof properties of this pack.

SO AWESOME!
