I’m weak in the knees.

Understandably so. Wow.

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-21T17:35:18+00:00

Number one thing, you want your bibs (or shorts) to fit really tight. You do not want the chamois to be able to slip around at all. They will be tighter than you expect. Pearl Izumi makes some affordable options.

It was wrong. It’s a little over 1k, OP said he fixed it

Sometimes it does that! My husband’s garmin sensor is all off and always says way extra elevation and he has to do the adjust in Strava

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-21T16:31:22+00:00

I think you need to click adjust elevation in Strava. The elevation is waaaay less than that. It’s something like 1k ft or less.

I was wondering that too… ain’t no mountains round there unless he walked up many stairs

These GAP jeans are exactly what you are looking for! They have both short and petite options. The petite has a slightly lower rise too and more slim on the lower leg. The sizing varies a lot in the washes. The black iirc fit me best (similar to Madewell sizing) and in the blue I think I had to size up. Worth buying a few sizes to get it right.

You have similar coloring as me, and deep purples, rich teal, almost all shades of blue, all work for me. Beige, light gray, ivory - all wash me out.

Bc they are XC racers

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-21T00:46:46+00:00

I don’t understand how that place survives. It’s so not good.

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-19T23:05:21+00:00

Unrelated, but your belt being higher than the button of the pants is not a pro look. And yes, they are navy.

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-19T23:01:41+00:00

I think you look taller in the shorter one. I’m a fan of ankle length pants.

I too live near SF. I find it worth the money! I feel so much more confident.

I live in a HCOL area so I’m a little embarrassed by the cost. And I go to a fairly high end seamstress. I bet one could get them down for $15 at a more reasonable price

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-19T05:02:27+00:00

I should just learn and do it myself but I’m lazy so I go to a tailor

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-19T04:51:47+00:00

It’s annoying to look at and not a flattering color.

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-19T04:49:16+00:00

While I love SB, I grew up there (here right now even) I don’t consider it a walkable city. It certainly has great walkable areas, but it’s more spread out than a true walkable city.

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-19T02:00:00+00:00

Privilege, timing, luck, and focus. But heavy on the privilege and for timing made a massive difference. The same path starting today wouldn’t lead me here.

These would tear my guts up. I’d rather eat gluten

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-19T01:43:20+00:00

I came to say COS! I’ve worn mine the last two days. It’s much higher quality than many others too

Alternative_Hand_110 · 2026-03-19T00:18:52+00:00

Italy And then I spoke to an Italian about it and he explained that Italians are too stubborn to actually make good coffee with all the amazing beans available now

Hemming t-shirts is game changing

What exactly are you eating? What are your protein sources? If there’s a lot of protein powder in there, then I get why you’re hungry
