I feel better about my big pack, seeing yours mine looks minuscule!
I rode to work in a cold snap( from 38 to 16 - which is like 100 to about 60, so so?). Nice and cool. Drizzling too.
Funny, all the cyclists who ride when its sunny( and risk melanoma in more ways than one) were missing, and it wasn't even very cold.
I loved it. No flats.
I got there early so went to my gym, and had a leisurely breakfast of juice, apples, cheese and tea.
Im going on friday! I rode 100 km last week( and all I had ever done was about 25 or 45), so this week trying to keep it up.
Im really sore though. What with weight lifting, Im looking 20 and feeling 65!( Im 41).
Conquering illness, one step at time.

Yesterday afternoon commute = soaking wet by time I got home. My old Goretex pants aren't quite totally waterproof anymore.
This morning's ride was pretty wet too. It was doing a bit more that "drizzling" by the time I got into work.
I have to get some big ziplocs to keep my clothes dry in my non-waterproof panniers. I did put them in some cheap trash bags for these two rides.

Voodoo Sally- you look so great heading off to work. I, too, love your pack.
Hoffsquared- I wonder if anything is *really* waterproof when it downpours.
Probably, but it's probably more than I'm willing to pay. Good idea about the ziplocs. I have two plastic grocery sacks in my pannier in case it rains, but I always take my camera (it's velcroed to my stem) and if it rains- a plastic bag won't keep it dry.

At least my upper half stayed dry. I was really thankful my jacket hood fits nicely under my helmet! Originally Posted by Tri Girl

Yes. But I want to know....are you running a single speed, or are you fixed? Originally Posted by MDHillSlug
