Kenneth's Wishlist for Cycling in Alaska:
- full fingered gloves
- wind proof vest
- rain coat
- cycling pants
- cycling bib knickers
- better chain lube (I've tried 3 so far, none work well enough)
- thicker socks
- better base layer
- shoe covers
- non-white bibs
- clear sunglasses lenses
- common sense
Of course, I could buy all this stuff at a local bike shop (yes, they sell common sense, but I don't recommend that product because it makes you slower). But the bike shops close at 6:00.... and I'm riding until 10:00.
Usually, if it rains, I head straight for home. Yesterday, I wanted to do 50 miles. At first, I was avoiding the rain squalls like a ninja avoiding throwing stars. Then I got hit by the Daddy storm. As my fingers went numb and I started to shiver, I just smiled. Alaska is fun. I did 60 miles instead.
