When Seth and I were first married and I moved to the freezing Willamette Valley I began searching though Seth's things for some gloves. I stumbled upon these leather items, cut off at the knuckle with padding in the palm and a meshy backing - yikes! I laughed to myself thinking I had discovered Seth's "muscle gloves". They are in fact biking gloves.
You see, any self respecting, Oregonian would recongnize a pair of biking gloves...however, I grew up in California and my parents didn't bike - they pumped iron on their benchpress located in our garage or backyard (depending on the heat) wearing cut-off t-shirts, Ray-Bans and sweat shorts with pockets in them, while listening to The Boss, The Cars and The Eagles, thank you. They also wore muscle gloves!
Needless to say, when I confronted Seth about his secret life as a bodybuilder...it was he who laughed.
The times have changed - I am now a self procliamed "Oregonian" and while I still like the Boss, The Cars, The Eagles and to pump iron, I also like owning my very own mountain bike and "muscle gloves" for riding said bike.
So, here is to muscle gloves! Can't wait until next fall when we can ride together again!

You are so buff Caroline and very cool in your muscle gloves! We miss you guys out here!
So glad to see a new blog post. You two are certainly muscle lovers!
Hilarious. Jared has a couple pairs himself, and I might have found myself wondering if they were muscle gloves or not, but luckily I saw him biking in them before I left my imagination go.
