Oh boy, You really need to hook up with Machka! She has just moved from Manitoba. She is currently doing a cycling tour in Australia so I'm not sure when she will be back. She is the expert on clothing and gear and where to shop in Manitoba. She is a long distance cyclist and has more HC points than most men. You could do a search under her user name and see what you can come up with. I do know that she posts on a few other boards. Good Luck & safe riding!
