Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I love my Rab rain coat!
Its light enough to wear while cycling, hiking , & warm enough when you layer if you want to use it for winter/winter sports.
I prefer it since its eVent, more breathable than gore, & cleaning it is a breeze. Throw it in the machine, & retreat it with a steamer to make it water proof again.

I'll add the video of my jacket when I find it.

My jacket is called the Rab Latok Alpine.



Don't have the pants yet, but plan on buying them.

The wife and kids love bacon turkey Bravo's, so I am all too familiar. The Fayetteville one is better, still an outside outfitter, where the Density store is just another clothing store.

The rest of my clan got the EMS high vent hardshells, and they were not close to gore-tex in breath ability.

I am coming down with a bug. Body aches, malaise, anorexia. And that was before I saw coasting's chain thread.

So probably not riding tomorrow.

Rough day at work today. And I caught a cold. that sucks.

On the positive side, I earned a strava KOM on a 30 sec sprint segment by drafting a car without dying. Yay?

It's just Coasting's pinyin translator acting up.

He uses it to type Chinese characters.
