For most of last year I rode wearing a pair black Giro Rivet gloves in size XL. These unpadded and super-vented (note the mesh along the sides of each finger?) gloves are what I prefer for warm weather riding. Last year after setting up for the Addison Oaks Fall XC Classic I left them on my bike rack and drove off, losing them. They were a bit worn at the time and I figured that other gloves could replace them, but with it getting warmer here I missed them and swung by RBS yesterday to pick up another pair and I’m quite glad I did. They fit just like I’d remembered and left my hands comfortably cool while riding Stony Creek last night.
Speaking of Stony Creek, a week ago while riding with Kristi I stopped along the paved path on the east side of Sheldon just north of Stony Creek High School and trimmed back the shrub which normally overhands 40% of the pavement. As the nice weather rolls on the shrub seems to get larger and larger, resulting in a need to swerve around it while riding past. It appears to be located at a relatively unmaintained section of land, so I figured that cutting it back wouldn’t upset anyone. A photo of it from a week ago can be seen here.
