Have you seen the weather for this W/E...……...crap.

 

[GSears]

No such thing as the wrong weather

 

[Ahamay]

True but it would be nice to have the right weather for a change.

 

[Aitch]

The forecast will have changed by the weekend......hopefully for the better

 

[BurgerJay]

Just the odd shower expected on the Northern routes but looks to be a dry start and a dry finish so happy with that

doesn't look bad going south

I am signed up for south anticlockwise weather looks better to reverse the route at the mo but it can all change yet I suppose.

24hrs in a rain suit won't be much fun

24hrs in a rain suit won't be much fun

If it's raining, 24hrs without a rain suit will be even less fun

As mentioned in the Detailed Instructions document, there's no such thing as bad weather only the wrong clothing That's why many LD riders wear waterproof textile gear, so you can just zip things up when it gets wet/cold instead of keep having to stop and put on/take off leggings and/or over suits.

Having said that during a couple of the early RBLR1000's we had horrendous driving rain for many hours heading north so an oversuit and even overboots came in handy over the top of my already gore-tex gear.

 

[Kayaker413]

I was going with the logic that my textiles are much more comfortable on big days without the waterproof liners in but this does mean anything more than a 30 min shower is a rain suit stop!

wear my leathers or my leathers....leathers it is then
