I aint used to this

Theres a Peter Egan column about this in Cycle World last year.

the tip was get your cotton T shirt, soak it in water, take some photos of your nipples standing up, post them on kiwibiker* then put your kit on and go ride.

As you heat up the water evaporates, cooling you down.

They were talking about riding in the hottest part of the US, at the hottest time of year, doing big days though whether it would be worth it in NZ?


*the photos and posting part are optional. (after 300+ posts, my sense of humour is coming through.. must..... stop.....)

I only have a jacket, still working on getting pants. I just deal with it aye until i get out on the open road then all good, i put the jacket on to go 2mins down the road cause if i stak it the i'd rather be protected rather than my garage wall.

Saw lots of different vented (read full of holes) cordura style jackets over in Perth. Think I managed to convince my lady to consider getting one...but - full leathers?
