white bike shorts
OK, so color me naive. I really had no idea.
I should stick this in my biking lessons learned entry...and maybe I still will.
I was talking to some folks at work about the ride, and one member of the group has done the MS 150 before. Someone asked me if I had those cute little bike shorts yet, and I said, "I do, and yes they're pretty skin tight which may not be the visual you want, but that padding stuff makes a huge difference."
The girl who has done it before asked if they were white...and I said, "No, they're black."
"Oh thank God," and she started giggling.
"Ummmm...why? What am I missing?"
Well, the gist of the discussion that ensued was....white bike shorts leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. I got to see some photographic evidence...emphasis on the graphic. It was one of those joke-like e-mails that makes the rounds with pictures of a bike team in white shorts, and another in red shorts. No, I won't be buying any of those.

I HEARD about that email, and frankly, I'm dying to see it. Send it along if you have it. LOLOLOL

Which MS 150 ride are you preparing for? I know there are several going on in September. I'm getting ready to ride the one in Orange Beach Al.

I'm doing the one from St. Augustine to Daytona and back the last week of September.
Jessie - I don't have it but I think I can get it. I'll see what I can do.
Hmmmm... you in white shorts...how my imagination just took off! :)
