Pootled along to the CTC meet this morning on the 'bent.
Discovered that if I do not want to look as if I've been in a serious
off-road event, the 'bent *needs* the front mudguards on when there is rain.
Very windy - even on the 'bent I was having to pedal hard on some of the
downhill bits. Plus - I got a wet bottom - the puddles can be deceptively
deeper than I thought, and those, combined with the spray and mud flung at
me from the front wheels - when I got home I was sprayed head to foot with
mud splatter from the roads.
On the plus side, it was actually remarkably refreshing being out there in
the wind & rain - blew the cobwebs away nicely.
The waterproofs are in the wash being cleaned and reproofed as I type.
Cheers, helen s
