The gloves came first so i make sure everything goes with black and dirty
grey. 🙂

Roadies color coordinate? I thought the idea was just to wear as many
manufacturer logos as possible.

exactly - for me gloves are for the eventual digger

One of the few times I forgot my gloves was on a ride during a business
trip. It can be tricky remembering all the little stuff to pack up. It was
a bad place to forget them - South Mountain, near Phoenix. Did a nice
washout just afer suffering through the climb up Mormon, and spent the
next couple of days in meetings with bandaged hands.

After awhile, the continuous "what happened? questions become more
bothersome than the pain.

That trail claims my blood every time I ride it, almost, so don't feel bad.
Once in a while I get lucky and I clean everything... or maybe I'll feel
wussy one day and skip a section to save my hide.

If the weather is warm I usually ride gloveless. I actually prefer the
feel- when I buy gloves, I always choose the ones that have the thinnest
possible palms.

Try the "Raji" glove by 661. Super thin palm and thin mesh upper. Good for
riding in hot weather.

I thought all roadies were racing legends in their own minds.

That statement assumes that there was grass anywhere nearby. There
wasn't.

Oops. My bad.

The day I bought my first mountain bike, I decided I didn't need to
go inside to get my gloves before practicing clipping out. "I'm in
the driveway," I reasoned, "What could possibly go wrong?"

Driveway? Should have practiced on the grass.

Well then you probably should have found some, dontcha think?
