[RBW] Wet 300k

2014-03-31 Thread Brian Hanson
Going with the fenders post, yesterday's ride in Seattle was a great
testament to having coverage.  It rained (hard) for at least half the ride.
 For me that was about 8 hours worth.  Not the most fun I've ever had, but
strangely satisfying in that a bad day outdoors on a bike is better than a
good day inside.  I certainly feel alive!

I wasn't riding my Hilsen, but I will likely take that out next time.  I'm
waiting for a front Swift bag for the snacks and map.  I was on a steel
bike (Toussaint) experimenting with low trail and 650B (Hetres EL).  The
riv-related anecdote I'll bring up is how amazingly comfortable the Noodles
are with a single cotton wrap layer.  Even with non-cycling waterproof
(not) gloves.  It must be the diamond wrap!

[RBW] Wet 300k

2014-03-31 Thread Tony DeFilippo
Great looking handlebar wrap.  So far I've been putting a layer of inner tube 
under my cotton take for extra padding... Maybe I'll try the cotton only 
approach next time.  8 hours of rain riding during a 300k distance sounds like 
alot to me, congrats on finishing!  Your SAA saddle had some extreme hammock 
action happening, is that just the result of the long hours and rain or is that 
the broken in standard?
