AS PREDICTED, A POWERFUL DRIZZLE TAPS THE WINDOWS, and a light breeze viciously whistles.

Cocooned  in bed, I surf the interwebs... drooling over the Pivot Vault, and wondering if it would be the perfect tool for the Belgian Waffle Ride?

Who am I kidding?

If I ain't brave enough to weather this pitiful "storm" how could I ever attempt a ride like that, even on such a capable bike?

My daughter joins me with a book... Surfergirl brings us pancakes and hot cocoa.

It's like Kryptonite for The Old Diesel.

I sink even deeper.

Cozier.

I am warm and dry and weak...

... not worthy of the machine or event of which I dream...

... or am I?

Maybe.

Perhaps if I don our new KOM jacket, designed specifically for days such as this... it's wind and water repellent membrane would easily protect even one such as I.

It's taken all Fall to perfect the pattern.  The stretchy membrane fabric is snug enough not to be a parachute, yet easily slips over layers of warm clothes.

It's brand new... just released.

Which means I guess I'll have to cave into the societal Black Friday pressures and make this offer...

The first 25 people to order a KOM jacket using this code will save 25%... the code is BLACKKOM
