The thought of riding down a multi thousand foot descent or riding in 40 mph winds has been enough to keep me from trying a poncho or rain cape. Have folks who have tried them not found that to be a problem?
Just not on my Itinerary , if it was raining hard and I has a big Descent, ahead
I'd just stay indoors at the Hostel , The thought of riding down a multi thousand foot descent or riding in 40 mph winds has been enough to keep me from trying a poncho or rain cape. Have folks who have tried them not found that to be a problem? B&B, Zimmer,
or wherever,( probably the Pub, ) till the weather improved.
then I control my downhill speed to less than that ..
Even Here, I go around near sea-level than over the Hill the town is built on.
I'm no wider with my Cape on Than without. so the rate of speed
which is always Modest , does not change..
& a 30 knot headwind is still a 30 knot headwind.

short of old selftimers and tripods )
