Not a rando ride, just a local community ride. I didn't start training early enough this year to hit the brevet series. So I am trying out some 200k and double centuries this year, and plan on trying a brevet series next year. I am surely going to bring along 2 tubes on the double centiry in May, Davis Double. Also, I purchased a 1.6mm thick tube today, which I installed on my rear tire tonight.

Those SKS fenders look reasonable. How do wool socks help?

Have downtube shifters not STI, but need to find a way to mount the cue sheet, rain or no rain. It's annoying to pull it out of my bento bag, or hold it in one hand while I'm making 5 turns every 0.1 miles.

The "right" clothing sounds expensive. I have a "breathable" rain/windbreaker jacket. It kept me dry for about 15 minutes. Arm and knee warmers. I did keep warm for the most part.
