Some friends just came in and bought two rain suits. Why, you say, would anyone be doing buying rain suits when it is 90 degrees in July?! Preparation, my friends, preparation.
They are going riding on the Washington Coast. The area is a rain forest. Even in the summer, it's strange how it rains in a rain forest. These are some smart friends. We've had others in, discussing some big rides coming up. Some of the questions include what to take on a long ride.
Well, first off, is your bike tuned and ready? Tires fresh, cables lubed, airfilter clean, oil changed? Are you ready for changes in weather, road conditions, or bad fuel?
Preparation is what keeps a good ride just that; good. We can help you get ready. It's better to stop here and see friends versus making a call to get picked up on the side of the road someplace where you don't know anyone! Or, perhaps you are planning a trip to Alaska and you just now realize that bears do in fact eat people.
We do not have bear repellent, but we do have some portable fuel conditioners, Plexus for your visor or goggles, small chain lubes, tank bags for extra storage, emergency tire repair kits (or better yet, get some new tires instead of those thread bare ones on your bike now,) and more. Or, even a rain suit. You never know what the dress code will be.
