Matt,

When was the last time you used an airconditioner in Gunni? Too
HOT.....your crazy. Sorry. I had to laugh, and take the time to give you
crap about living in one of the coldest places on earth (except this winter
of course).

Hey, we use a swamp cooler every summer in my office. It's in an old
attic space on Main and it gets pretty warm. At least for a few weeks a
year.
Never had AC in a house here though. Definitely not necessary but the
rocks can get hot on a sunny day.
I go to GJ to ride sometimes too! THAT's hot!

OK, shorts or one piece short & top, I use Sugoi or I just got some
higher end MEC ones last fall and they fit well and breathed too. I
used to be a roadie so always was more comfortable in lycra anyways,
even if I did look different at the time. But now many do wear the
lycra now on the trails choosing comfort over looks. I wear black
usually anyways, so it's all good.
