Rockin' it old school

Not only is White Lightnin' circa 1990 but so are my riding gloves. I don't ride with gloves but I figured that my hands could use the extra love on this trip. When I was going through my box of cycling stuff, I found the gloves that I had when WL was just a colt.

Not only do they have leather palms, they also have cotton webbing on the back. Well, there are two issues with this. The first is that natural materials don't do so well in rain, sun, sweat, etc. I think that they qualify as a bio-hazard! When I get up in the morning, I have to go find them as they often crawl away in the night.

Secondly, on most importantly, the dye isn't waterproof. So anytime I sweat or it rains, the dye runs. And since it is either hot, raining or both my hands are comical looking!
