Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, and rain caps like the one below are a few of my favorite things.  The rain cap on the right, an indispensible but often overlooked piece of kit, especially valuable during this time of year out shines its cotton counterpart on the left in the times it is needed most, 45-55 and rainy.  

 

The podcast is back to keep you company on those cold rainy days.  Feedback rich, we discuss top american riders of all time, conclusive data linking abstinence (stopping short) being the equivalent to training in the high alps with EPO, a wife wants in on the action, one year, brake pads, ball bearings… it goes on and on in this mostly feedback podcast.
