Because I’m gear-obsessed and because who doesn’t love the start of fall (except summer people who don’t understand cyclocross or cross country, obviously), I wanted to kick off what I plan on doing as a seasonal piece on here: A clothing and gear wishlist …
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: One of my all-time favorite things to read when I was getting into magazines as a kid was always the “what’s in your bag” articles. There were the ones in women’s magazines (Jane had THE BEST), …
