Hi Gary
We were lucky in that the first half of the ride - the long stretch from melb to Meredith was rain free with even the occasional patch of blue sky. We hit the poorer weather when we turned south into Meredith and even then it was just light drizzle.
Dry and warm? Everyone has a different system to suit themseves but I wore a base a layer of thermal gear - mine is ski thermal from Kathmandu.
Another T shirt over that
Then my normal bike gear - a solid lined leather jacket, and kevlar jeans. A woolen snood around my neck and face.
Over that the Corazzo plastic rain jacket is just fantastic - rain and wind proof - $50 from Vespa House.
And some plastic leggings - mine from AMX - $30
I can honestly say that - apart from fingers - I was warm as toast all day and didnt notice how cold it was until I watched the news at home later.
I am sure other members will add to this. Still searching for the finger solution, It seems to me that no matter how much you spend on gloves, it is still very hard to keep warm over a long stretch.
Can anyone recommend their wet weather gear? It will be interesting to hear what worked best in keeping you dry and warm.
Anakie Roadhouse I will be back to devour another delicious hamburger with the lot, the best I have ever tasted. YUM.......
