Re: Endurance Fashion?

Hi Bruce,

For footwear, try the sneakers designed for riding. They are terrific! And
nicely unisex. I won't go back to regular boots after wearing the riding
sneakers. 

Hey you macho types -- On my way back from a long ride today, my Star and I
saw a jogger who was definitely not concerned about anyone questioning his
manhood. He was wearing HOT PINK spandex jogging tights and running through
a neighbhorhood in rural Kansas where you are just as likely to meet up
with some Bubba types!

Now I'm not advocating hot pink on guys -- just wanted you to know some
guys are confident enough to handle it!

despite being a long and lanky type, I am looking at purchasing the spandex
riding pants. What brands have the rest of you guys tried, vendors?

quite a few people in running shoes, but somehow I don't think that I would
feel comfortable riding in them.
