Not Wearing That You're Not


Of the many non-negotiables in road cycling, depending on one's level of doucheyness, there is one that even Mongo will sign off on...No baggy/mt. bike shorts when riding a road bike.
Instead of getting into the nuance of the subject, let me just say that it looks ridiculous.
It doesn't matter if you are Ned Overend himself and are kicking my ass up every climb...you still look silly.
That being said, Mongo faced off against a feisty opponent yesterday who looked like a serious mt. biker who had borrowed his friend's Trek. Baggy shorts and all, he couldn't believe that I was able to catch him and then pull away.
After my poor showing on Monday, it was good to mix it up again.
