Stem Captain Thermometer

Recently I switched from a Planet Bike Protege computer that had a built in Themometer  to a Cateye Strada that did not have a Thermometer.   I like having a temperature reading device on the bike.  Riding in all kinds temperature and it is nice to know what the reading is when I am riding ...  and I missed having one.

I saw the Stem Captain and put one on the threadless headset center cap of my LHT.   A nice little item, seems well built and very simple to install.

 I opted for the thermometer, they also had a clock, compass and a picture holder.

Mt Borah Freedom Pants - Review

I have been using newly purchased Mt Borah Freedom Pants.  

Looking for a cool weather alternative to the long "spandex" look.    I found that these pants are as described "the perfect choice for a relaxed fitting cold-weather performance not-so-tight pant. Great for riding and lounging."   
•Driflex 350 fabric
•Loose fit for versatile performance
•Zip side pockets
•7" ankle zippers

They are light weight & fit great over bicycle shorts.   A different riding look.    Although they are not "really warm" ...   they do keep the chill off.    The zippered angles keep the fabric out of the chain.

I order a second pair !
