the heart of the matter
last night's ride home was a useful one in that i was able to try out my new twin6 skinsuit (in order to start gauging the warmth it provides). upper 40's and the skinsuit only (with knee warmers) was perfect. 8-10 degrees cooler will require a base layer of some sort on top. mid-30's i'm thinking base layers for both top and bottom. beyond that, i'll just be cold i guess.
this weekend's cross race is not looking to require too much warmth (predicted temps around 60) but the skinsuit will come in handy during december/january races.
robin had an early meeting this morning so i dropped calvin off at daycare (which means i didn't get to ride in today). cross practice tonight (last one of the year) which with cloudy conditions and early sunset it'll be a 20 minute practice (well, not quite that short).
and, even though we are just entering the peak of cross racing i'm already contemplating equipment choices for next year. i have a little money allocated in the family budget and i'm hoping to upgrade my frame (to carbon) and wheels (tubular). i've got ideas for both but any suggestions/recommendations are welcomed.
happy wednesday.
