The weekend ride was saved/slightly guided by a tiny Blackberry. The few brief moments of not knowing which direction to go was fun, but then technology took over and produced a map in a small hand held device.
Then it was back to the business of riding long miles on sun-drenched roads. It is towards the end of these long rides that black kits revealed salted-out efforts and dehydrating bodies. *
Salt coloured jerseys would be a good idea.
*Disclaimer: Dear competitors, please don't gage the fitness of those wearing black by the salt stains encompassing their jersey's. I mean, perhaps the salt has been placed their on purpose to give you a false sense of security. Yes, thats it. Its best to assume the salt is supposed to be there and that you are about to feel the wrath of a cyclist who is incredibly fresh and fit.
