Re: Trail Fashion Shows – I couldn’t agree with you more.  I usually roll my eyes when I see the fully color coordinated rider and bike.  I get it if they’re a sponsored competitor and IN an actual race, but out on the trails it just makes me think they’re starving for attention.  Maybe there’s a little envy on my part that those folks can spend that kind of money on their riding clothes and worry about how they look, but that wouldn’t be me even if I had the money.  And the plaid button up shirts! Oh, don’t get me started!  Every time I see one of those I think of that old movie “Real Men Don’t Wear Plaid” and laugh.  I’m out to ride, not for a fashion show.  And I’m more concerned with function and protection than fashion in any of my gear.  I find great function clothing on the clearance racks for 80% less than the trendy fashion stuff that’s out of fashion next season.  Funny thing is, it works just as well, if not better than the expensive trendy stuff.
