Many thanks!
Cover = sail...that makes sense. Glad I didn't learn from experience.
Thanks for the welcome! I have been lurking for quite a while. You ladies seem to have all the answers. Learned how to ride with my clipless pedals and how to fit myself for a new saddle from your posts.

If you might be in inclement weather, you can use a Chain Condom http://www.chaincondom.com/ to protect your drive train.

I was just coming here to suggest the same thing! I have a roof rack, but I used a Chain Condom for a 1400+ mile drive this summer (which included a torrential downpour) and it worked great! Originally Posted by lo123

Looks like a great idea but I hate the phallic reference (is the company owner 12 years old?). Would have to get the Mt Ventoux special edition.

Just got back from my trip! *Bike rack worked a treat! *Easy to install, and after establishing a pre-flight checklist, had total peace of mind transporting my beast.
I will for sure check out that drivechain condom and the pygmy covers. *It rained for several hours on the way down, and by the time I got there, my chain had been washed dry. *I relubed and was good to go, but after unloading the bike when we got back to NYC, I saw that the chain/derailleurs/gears (which were all cleaned just before going into the trip) were LOADED with road grime. *I blame the hour we had to sit in traffic at the Holland tunnel! *
Thanks again for the help!
