    Queens Birthday weekend ride and I was soaked through after only 4hrs or so of the frst day.

    NZ Safety Shop PVC 3xl top, 5xl mc hammer pants, goretex boots, thermals, wind stoppers, cordura jacket and pants...


    Why are all the pants made for fat midgets?

    Yes but isn't that only half the story? Were there not high rivers and maybe some low speed manoeuvring resulting in sweat involved about then? or had you not got that far yet?
