I don't mind the wet. It's the thin streak up your back that's worth avoiding.
Ahh the original "go faster stripe"
when you ride dirt tracks thats mud your talking about. we have had lot of rain in my area so nice and green now just lot of mud puddles have to watch out for. I have seen a lot of touring pushy this week passing through town or camping , loaded to the max I don't know why they carry so much on the bikes.
you ever get flats Lester?
Punctures?
Not recently.
Last one was over 2 years ago and i got it was in my driveway
If i will be some distance from home, say 2 miles plus, i take:
Repair kit
Pump
Spare inner tube
we all carry spare tube pump and leavers, a month ago we had someone get a puncture each week for three weeks. held the group up as the people who go punctures. had no experience at fixing.
anyway I moved to the fast group the week after and so far no one has got one. also I went tubeless and put endure sealer in and bolt in tubeless valves. so far so good.
