Alan "The leprechaun" McCormack's tips for rainy touring survival

Alan McCormack was a favorite cyclist of mine during the '80s Coors Classic stage races. (See videos below). Here in my favorite cycling blog he offers some tips for foul weather touring that might come in handy for those of you who aspire to do some touring in rainy climates such as western Washington state.....or Ireland where Alan is from.
