This is *so* cool! Is there a way I can RSS-subscribe to the Swift Archive on Peloton Magazine’s website?

I thought it would be clever to embro my feet a while back. It really wasn’t. I wish I’d have known about this then :)

I read last week after having a few very HOT post ride showers
that rubbing alcohol works. It does a few swipes with a wash cloth
wetted with rubbing alcohol removes the embro, and the need to scream
like a little girl in the shower.

Dude, you gotta be careful. I had to help out a friend who ran into a similar problem: http://teamjva.com/page/9
I would be the hobbit-like hero of that blogpost. I certainly would have handed you a package of Philadelphia’s finest to solve your problem.

I actually wear embrocation with knickers. And sometimes with tights, too. It’s cold – it helps me stay warm.
It’s a personal preference I suppose.

Embrocation emergencies? Really? Only in Pdx.

Why don’t folks wear knickers (instead of embrocation)? *Or* for extra warmth try the knickers sans pad *over* the thermo/fleeced lined shorts.

Not every training ride has to be fantasy Paris-Roubaix.

Comment on Tested: Assos FI 13 Lady S5 Bib Shorts by Kristin

I wanted to update my previous review…

I decided to take Heidi’s advice by going a size up and so I reordered these shorts and went from medium to large. I was a bit surprised but the fit was EXCELLENT. The strap is staying exactly where it should, it’s not unhooking and the overall fit was just right. Even no sausage leg!

I have ridden twice (38 miles and 52 miles) trying them out and I am so glad that I decided to try again with a larger size. I have a feeling this summer, spring and fall I will be relying on these shorts a lot.

For anyone curious about fit, I am 5’8″, 36 bust and 36 hip. I think the strap was feeling too snug and pulling with the medium but the large feels perfect. Nothing felt loose around the hips or waist and the mediums did trend a little sausage like but the large has no issue like this at all but the shorts do not move or pull in any way. Perfect fit.
