It's hard to look tough in a Cookie Monster jersey that is two sizes too big for you (Cathy clearly thought I was more man than I actually am), while wearing Smurf blue shorts and bright red knee warmers with flaming purple arm warmers. I think I pulled it off though. You can't argue with those guns baby. I wonder what the UPS guy thought when I answered the door in this getup all soaking in sweat? No, I probably don't really want to know. I can only hope he made the connection to me being a cycling dork. The shot is from after my ride so any "moisture" visible really is sweat, which is proof that I was working hard and wasn't just screwing off watching TV.
I'm trying to remain impartial.

you wear arm warmers and knee warmers to ride the rollers INSIDE?
Of course. The point is to sweat, isn't it? Besides, it's in the basement where it is cold.
excessive sweating just has never made sense to me, remove layers until you're in bib shorts if you're sweating on trainer. If you're riding bib shorts and sweating, then that's okay by me.
Must be the growing up hiking and what not, you sweat and get wet and that's the fastest way to get hypothermic in the mtns.
Layer and let the body regulate...
I'm oldschool and love to sweat the weight off and purge the evil while training.
I can attest to MKR sweating like a running fawcet on some long training rides/skis. The guy works his ass off!
I prefer to be a bit on the chilly side and lose the layers as I get frothy.
That kit tho Dude.......Geeked!
I agree that in racing and on long hard training rides overheating is a bad idea. After that death march at Mark's a couple winters back JB, I've changed my tune. In the basement though I load up and try and sweat it all off/out.
None of you know how bad he sweats until you ride the back of the tandem with him - it's like a tropical rain forest back there ;)
