Swimming season end nears as the sun's arc shortens above northern
ridges.Soon cold mornings follow with a quick sun and body warmup.
One(wait one while I look outside)apparel manufacturer offers
leggings, arm warmers and a light balaclava in polyester. A tour of
your local thrift shops or bureau
raid will produce a child's polyester pajama separable to the
manufactured set. Cutting produces the leggings, arm warmers and
balaclava with neck opening. Velcro tabs at bal's rear can be hung
with a small neck protective cape for long morning treks west across
the desert. I have a spiderman with manzilla as spare. Balaclava's are
made from the microspun poly t-shirt you ripped up in the brambles by
using the existing balaclava as a pattern to paper then the T. Do one
side then repeat and tape together for a precut trial. Cut the fabric
small for a squeeze fit. The sewing takes a few minutes, keeps hair in
place and bugs, road dirt off. Checkpout DIY Chainguard $2 and DIY
Tirerepair in bike.tech. I write a journal at
groups.sci.bio.ethology"Interspecies Communication Journal" 1 and 2.
Godspeed!!!

arm and knee warmers at commercial prices appear somewhat outside cost
effective clothing for most riders. an accoutremoat.
but when the rags are on hand-effective!
in cool air upwind is wind chillsville
then downwind one rides in a still air pocket with the sun's
insolation bringing your sphere's temp up dramatically.
the arm and knee warmers are comfy under these conditions turning
hehehe a survivable ride into downwind through the elysian fields.
polyester finishes are many from the rubber diving suit weave and
finish to the police T's mid-kansas/LA summer weave/finish. The kids
PJ's may have a similar range so be picky.

Arm/leg warmers can be made by cutting the end off an old pair of socks.

I saw this note several days ago. I haven't had the nerve to read it.
