Currently have fox full finger gloves. Need shorts/pants/shirts mostly.

Is Izumi just another clothing brand? Looks like good stuff.

they have the best prices on clothes i have found and from my experience / online reviews they perform just as well as the more expensive stuff and just sacrifice a couple grams on the weight side.

Not being hardcore / competition i cant see where a couple ounces will ever hurt me.

bike doctor carries most of the line in store at least the one in arnold does if you want to see how the stuff fits.

Obviously cheaper to buy online.

Getting kinda nippy out there, any suggestions on riding gear? My nipples were hard before I made it to the end of the street today.

Gore bike wear , phantom so jacket, its a windproof softshell that can be converted into a bike Jersey by removing the sleeves.

Came to the bottom of a hill and the blood was dripping down my leg. Shrubbery grabbed hold of me on the way down I guess.

The top abrasion was from a fall on a climb. My other leg got peddle struck bad front and back. Good times.

Talking with my neighbor who has been riding mtb for 15 years, she said

Was a worth while place to check out, for a local place. she said she normally drives to DE or PA to go riding.

Ended up riding with a guy that used to ride back when.

Yea spent a little bit more time messing with the obstacles this time, found one that I used to hit back in the day, but was not able to tackle it. Definitely want to head back and give it another shot.

Lol riding to PA or PG county when you have 80 miles of every terrain at Patapsco. That's weak.

She lives across the street from me and rides 2-3 times a week for 15+ years. Pretty sure she knows Patapsco like the back of her hand.

She did say Patapsco was one of the better places around.
