In the spirit of rainy, windy, and cold SFR brevets, I propose that we change the 2008 schedule and push this year's 300k event up to TOMORROW! -Jim G ps. yes,...
That was funny. However after my fun ride to work this morning I was going to propose a short ride in the rain (no this is not a joke.) If anybody is ...
... Saturday's forecast includes thunderstorms, while Sunday's only(!!) calls for rain. So I'm leaning towards doing any riding this weekend on Sunday. I...
While there was a break in the weather I went out for my 30 mile fitness ride. At about 25 miles the rains came. The experience was very reminiscent of a...
I also went on a 20ish mile ride this morning. I left late so it was raining already. Crossing the GG Bridge was not to bad but going around the columns was...

May I recommend Assos' waterproof, windproof gloves. I'm not sure of the name. I've been using them in driving, very cold rains during every foul brevet and...

On last year's 400km, one young woman, still learning some of the details about brevets, started the ride with no cold weather gear. I believe she told me that...
I just ordered a pair of these gloves: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,19769_Canari-Static-Gloves-Waterproof-For-Men-and-Women.html I'll report back on how...
I've never had any luck with waterproof gloves, mostly because my hands seem to start sweating buckets as soon as they're encased in anything remotely ...
Sounds like Sealskins for cold rain on the hands. I wish I'd had some this weekend. I did a bit of riding Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and those long rainy...
A friend of mine swears by wool gloves that he bought at Rivendell. I think you can also get them at Orchards. They have some rubber grip pattern, but the...
For the feet, I get by with wool socks and toe covers. That combo worked well enough at the SFR 300k last year; at least well enough that it wasn't my feet I ...
I use the cheap Performance neoprene booties. They've work very well for me. I use winter Sidi boots under them (with regular socks). I also spray the boots...

Amy, Do you wear cycling gloves underneath the rag wool glomitts? One thing that has bothered me on lots of long rides is that the gloves I use for warmth may ...
I have three "levels" of cycling gloves, depending on the severity of the weather. Warm weather: Just a decent padded short-fingered cycling glove Cooler...
My friend is the one who wears these on the Brevets. He cannot fit other gloves under the glommits. You might be able to if you have small hands and order up...
... How waterproof are the Cyclone gloves? The Pearl Izumi site says they're waterproof. Then again, that same site also says the Gavia gloves are waterproof. ...
... It's hard to tell. As others have mentioned, once something (especially gloves and booties) become completely waterproof they'll just become hot and humid...
I wear a liner. I have big hands and feet so most things don't fit. I can't find a full glove that fits. What I do is these thin little glove liners from...
When a manufacturer makes claims and the product clearly fall short on performance, let them know. With an outfit like Pearl, you might even get a response or...
I've been using neoprene socks($20 from nashbar) under my regular shoes for several years. NO regular socks-just these. If its cold I'll add toe covers. Feet...
hi all, once again it is friday and time for the terrible one. let me know if you'd like to join me. i also just ran across these lights. seems like they're...
I used Cree LEDs on the 508 this year. We had great success with them. They provide a lot of light and have a long run time on the batteries. We used BR...
We just got the notice. I guess one of the folks got sent a note in December but just told us that Almaden Cycling Touring Club is getting an award this...
