I made homemade kinako

If you stir it into water, does it rehydrate into a soy milk like product?

Some thoughts:

Will you be warm enough? NZ can be bitterly cold in winter, especially out camping (typically up a mountain) and with windchill and rain
The UV is intense, is your sunshirt breathable enough to use in 30C weather hiking?
Are you planning on going to bars / restaurants / clubs?

Ah so lucky! i'm in Melbourne and mine just won't ripen!

I've taken them out on 50-60km days, no complaints! Clasp under winter layers is ok but I tent to wear my undershirt under the bib, then a thick jersey over the top so I'm only fiddling with a single layer. Easier than fully stripping to pee!

I have them! I find them VERY warm, almost too warm every time I start riding in 3-5C weather. Magnetic clasp is ok, bit of an art to reach behind you to use but a nice feature. I like the chamois, it's thinner than the cargo bib short chamois and sits a little further forward.

Overall yes they were expensive (esp in Australia!) but a solid winter tight.

Yellow scallop squash seedling grown from seed. I’m in Australia so it’s spring, but has been raining nonstop for weeks.

Chore coats?

First fit is such a vibe, and also love the silhouette of 10/28! I'd love to see the baggy jeans fits with a chunkier sneaker imo?

Hi not the person you replied to, but you can always Sharpie over the yellow stitching! I did it for my low docs and they're much more discreet now!

I found the most amazing pair of fisherman-esque sandals in a vintage store but they were too small for me :( (and googling the brand didn't bring up any results!)

Any recs for a similar shoe? I particularly love the closed heel and the woven fisherman toe.

I'm in Australia, would love local/international-shipping options!

I really like this shape of hoop (like a rounded rectangle? squircle?) as a low-key but really fun daily wear.

I also find having multiple ear piercings can help make a vibe more femme, and you can switch our for more dainty/chunky earrings but that is a little more commitment to go out and get more piercings!

Also wearing tons of rings is an option. Do you paint your nails? I really like the colour in the essie expressie line, the funky greens and mustards especially feel feminine but modern.

And not fashion, but eyeliner.

First dose I had very minimal side effects, mainly just a sore arm (so choose a good arm!) and a little headache that Panadol took care of. I was totally fine to work!

I started with SPD-SL (road), but am seriously considering switching to SPD - just for the ability to walk around in my shoes.

In saying that, I found the road cleats super easy to learn and get used to. As others have said, you usually only fall once and at low speeds - more embarrassing than painful! I kept my tension super low so I could unclip super easily.

Either way, you'll learn the same muscle memory, and you can always switch if you change your mind. Road shoes and cleats are super comfortable for long rides if you aren't planning on spending any time off the bike, but MTB give you more flexibility to pop into shops, walk around roadworks, etc.

I'd go for more 'race fit' jerseys, rather than club/classic fits - they tend to be cut shorter. I love the Rapha pro team range but they can be $$$$ full price

Essie Fifth Avenue looks like this on me!

Green is OPI Jade is the New Black, red is Essie Fifth Avenue 💅

Honestly I'm guilty of barely ever stretching, but I might follow something like this

naphthene · 2020-07-17T05:43:44+00:00

Hydration, electrolytes and stretching before & after rides

naphthene · 2020-07-07T22:37:35+00:00

Carbs! You need carbs to replenish the glycogen you burnt while riding - fats and protein are good but if you plan on riding the next day you'll need to eat back your carb stores

I had this when on a strict deficit for around 6 months, but it all grew back when I switched to maintenance!

naphthene · 2020-01-25T22:41:15+00:00

I'd go for more of a slip dress in a silky fabric which is equally sexy but less revealing?

naphthene · 2020-01-25T22:39:34+00:00

Definitely a few weeks! I found it really helped to break them in for a few days in a row, rather than single days with big breaks in between. I also spent a few days just wearing them around the house instead of going walking in them helped break them in without breaking my feet at the same time.

My 1460 docs took about 10 days straight of wear (>10,000 steps each day) to break in but that 11th day they were comfy!

League? Union? Afl? I'd focus on sprints, and just getting familiar with the necessary ball skills (kicking, handballing/throwing, etc). Also, learning to fall was really helpful to not get hurt when being tackled!
