Rudy Project Sunglasses FTW!

There are a number of companies that make sunglasses, but when it comes to cycling and athletics, a handful of companies aim directly to athletes.

One such company is Rudy Project -- a company I first learned about while watching big Jan Ullrich crush the pavement -- but I never owned a pair. I bought a pair a couple of years ago and simply shoved them in a drawer and forgot about them for a while. Big mistake.

I don't want to say I crash a lot while cycling, but I've had weird mishaps that lead to carnage to my body and my sunglasses. I've worn several Rudy Project sunglasses, and the strong build quality ensures a product that is less likely to break.

My dad's pair of uber pricey Maui Jim sunglasses are great for running and cycling, while my Rudy Project Ekynox seem a bit better for cycling, and not running.

Either way, when it comes to sunglasses for cycling, I don't know if I can abandon Rudy Project any time soon.

M's Birthday

08.06.85

Today is my birthday. I'm 24 years old. Wow, I'm old.

So many things I've learned over the past year, yet I don't have the energy to spend the next four hours writing about it all. I'll explain in future blog posts, so we'll see what I have to say.
