Are there mountains in Florida? Oh yeah, the Matterhorn ride in Orlando. How is that single track? Cheers from Oregon Kerbouchaud,

I wear an Ibex jersey on my ride to work all year. The same jersey that keeps me warm when I am sweaty from overdressing in the winter also wicks sweat and aids cooling on 98-degree rides home. And all this versatility with no stink. Wool (especially merino wool) isn’t just for winter anymore. I wear an Ibex jersey on my ride to work all year.

Gotta love these 70 degree winters in Florida!!

Thick ones in the winter, the real thin ones in the summer. I can't stand cotton socks anymore. I wear Smartwool socks year round. Thick ones in the winter, the real thin ones in the summer.

Cheap semi used wool rocks harder. If you're handy with a sewing machine, buy two wool sweater shirts (that's what I call 'em, but I don't know if it's correct, the weave is more like a shirt or jersey, not open like a knit sweater). Cut one up and turn it into pockets for the back (or front to be really retro) of the other. For a ten spot or less, you have a functional woolie cycling jersey. Compare that to 10 times as much for off the shelf wool cycling jerseys. Yeah wool rocks. Cheap semi used wool rocks harder.

Ibex, Woolistic, Rivendell, Smartwool if you're bucks up or Goodwill like rliegh sez if you are on a more modest budget. It's the best, the people I ride with think I'm insane, but they do not know.
