The sealskinz gloves worked fine but as you can see from the pics- they don't work if you dunk them below water level. We know these roads and we took the centre of the road. Interesting point in that centrifugal force of the front wheel means that it is difficult to steer at speed when the hub is below water level. And the white lines are just as slippery under two feet of water as they are when just wet.
