    ha ha - my normal commute is 8kms - I wouldn't don the lycra for that! Once a week I've the trek to Leixlip - the pannier has a laptop, full change of clothes and a towel, so the lycra comes out for that one

    hmm, my commute is 4km, and I lycra up. No matter what, I'll have to change when I get to my destination, so I may as well wear cycling gear.

    Cycling gear doesn't have to mean lycra. I can't think of one benefit of lycra over that distance...

    It dries quickly, so if you get wet on the way into work, it's usually dry enough to wear on your way home.

    Promoting harmony and goodwill. There is nothing like wearing lycra to bring out the best in others...

    So do lots of other sweat wicking materials.

    Have to agree with Bluefoam here - I feel like a bit of a tool getting all lycra'd up if I'm going to be on the bike for less than an hour.

    I have a pair of baggy Altura shorts, with padding, that do the job nicely.

    Saw a navy boards jersey on the sea front, near closed texaco in kilbarrack about 7.50 last night. As a newbie, i didn't know the proper etiquiette when sighting a jersey.
    It were I. Thanks for posting, because I had no entry in my log for that day and I would have been down 40k. 'Twas theclimber (who was with me that day) who alerted me to it.

    That was me. It was about that point that I started to regret not bringing a rain jacket...

    Saw the new jersey today, guy took the turn by Rathfarnham Church onto Willbrook Road. Jersey looked quite good in the flesh.

    Edit: Just before 7pm tonight.

    ha summer eh? i was DESTROYED this morning/afternoon! a wall of wind going west, biblical rainfall going over the gap, in drops the size of my head smashing horizontally across me from the gap to roundwood, still more rain, and wind and when i stood up my sleeves would gush out like bags of water all over the road and then suddenly beautiful sunshine all the way home via enniskerry with trails of steam flowing off me. can't beat a good oul mid week annihilation, ready for anything now

    I'd say that was me - was heading up the hills for a spin. Quite chilly out there this evening, the summer seems to be over :(
