Quoted message said:Having just got drenched on my commute home today (and finding out
that the quoted battery life on my front light is out by a factor
of two) could anyone suggest the best to keep the rain out for
50-55 minutes of road cycling (and a mile of forest track). Even
with waterproof coat and trousers the rain found its way in and got
in my shoes and just about everywhere else. What do you wear on a
wet day?
Rainwater is clean, but stuff coming up from the road is not, so
mudguards are a good idea. However, if you are cycling through mud
or wet snow, mudguards are not a good idea, because the area round
your front brakes and mudguard gets packed with mud or ice, and
brings you to a halt. It's a question of what your one mile of
forest track is like.
