Anything but tissue thin lycra gets too hot and clammy - but it is surprising tougher than it looks.
At least helmets have evolved into very useful and actually quite comfortable things to wear.
But yes, at times, like when you are flying downhill at 50mph, you wonder about your survival rate if you come off. I'm taking the descent, particularly the twisty bits, slower than I used to. There are no prizes for being first to the bottom!One thing I really don't get, and it's becoming a trend trickling down from the pros is the no gloves thing. It amazes me that anybody would risk getting their hands hacked up, even in a minor crash, let alone a big one. But it seems to be a growing hip thing to be racing without gloves on ......
