Done with Mr. Mom

After a long weekend being a single parent, the Mrs. is back and the kids are happy. I hold off on the riding when she's out of town. I feel a bit funny having someone else watch the kids while I ride and the wife's not local.

Some new purchases: Giro Atmos Helment and a Specialized Rider's Club Jersey. The Giro was selected after looking at the Bell Sweep R, Specialized Decibel and the Atmos. After getting advice about the Bell (thanks Scott) and not being able to find many Decibels, the Atmos seemed obvious and I found a nice price on E-bay. I used it yesterday afternoon during my 96 degree ride. The cooling was very noticeable compared to my old cheapo. I still have my pre-historic Bell Biker out in the garage (and I think I'll leave it there).
