We got caught in a hailstorm here in Tassie on Sunday.

Good rain jackets with hoods helped a lot. So did other clothes like tights, shoes, full-fingered gloves and helmets.

And we had come through a grove of trees on our way out, so when the hail started, we made haste back to those trees.

We weren't touring, but we were riding a road I've never ridden before and Rowan has only ridden once at night so it was unfamiliar to us. If we had been touring, we would have done the same sort of thing.
