Looks like Nathan no longer makes my favorite type of vest they had. Was wondering what everyone is using. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

I like roominess and sizing up, too. Couldn't one buy some wool suit pants at Goodwill, cut them short and sew elastic in the hemline? Get whatever size you need for roominess. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Welp, 400-800$US is outta my price range so Ventile and Cottonanalogy and Scholler is out. I got the J Waterproof/Breathable helmet cover and jacket. It looks massively vented with the top half of the garment separated from the bottom half all the way around, and not just a vent on the back.

I have to work on the 10th. Plus, there is no way I could do 20mph average speed over a 100 mile course. Maybe , maybe 17mph, with a tailwind. Looks like the DCRandonneurs are still going on their 200k. But I am not fit enough for that amount of climbing over 125 miles yet. Maybe I will try to

That's the issue - the cold. What to wear to keep warm and dry. Although on long events maybe one cannot keep dry. Riding in summer heat on a long event in the rain is one thing. Doing it in the cold is another. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Wow. Some of the prices on waterproof/breathable jackets online are unbelieveably high. What did cyclists do back in the pre-1970 years, when their probably weren't lots of "breathable" artificial fiber materials those days? Were they paying an arm and a leg for rainwear back then? -- You

This info I need is mainly for long events. I do pretty good in the rain on commutes and sub-30 mile rides. Easy to stay warm on summer rides. So, sounds like for longer events there is no such thing as staying dry, so warm is the thing. I'm already wool clad head to toe when I ride. So just

I'm hoping to go if it isn't cancelled. The Lord willing I'll be able to go and the weather will be easily rideable if not clear by then. I see the DC Randonneurs have their hilly Warrenton,VA 200k ride going on, too, the same day! No mention of a cancellation there yet. Cue sheets are posted
