I rode to Lake George in NY, over 3 hours in torrential rain, somehow water seeped in through the jacket and rain pants and everything underneath was soaked. Camping and being cold is not desirable, but these are the adventures that leave a lasting memory. I'm planning on riding trails like that with my Tenere.GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254196892811043203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348278507505143679.post-62583348478042279932011-06-12T14:07:37.917-07:002011-06-12T14:07:37.917-07:00Hey!
