Re: Surviving the heat

Rode to the office 75 miles each way 33 Deg. On the way back
Mesh jacket, heatgear compression top, jeans and high tops.

Re: Surviving the heat

I bought a couple of heat gear compression tops they seem to work well under my mesh jacket but you need to keep moving for them to work

Re: Best meal you've ever had ?

Not a meal but Brown Loaf Bakery on Elgin Street Ottawa makes some of the nicest bread I have eaten. He's a really nice guy too.
He gave me a red bean bun to try which really is the nicest cake I've ever eaten.

I don't understand why GS1000 or 750s don't attract the same love. I never liked CB750s
