RE: [RC] Humor me.... - David LeBlanc

I have been rained on, sleeted on, snowed on, and gotten too hot, all in the
same day up here. Temperature is a consistent challenge - at high altitudes,
and even not so high altitudes where it's dry, it isn't uncommon to start
the ride at around freezing, and it's into the 50's by the time you get to
the first vet check, and into the 70's or 80's (sometimes higher) by noon.

Another bit of advice to someone starting - the clothes you need while
tacking up are a lot more than what you'll need after riding for even 10
minutes.

Wow! My hats off to you for riding in that weather! I've 
never even ridden in "real" rain! Only when it's been 
sprinkling! Where I live in Arizona, our summer rain comes 
with a lot of lightning, not the best riding conditions! So I 
stay inside till the sun comes out...which is always soon! I 
have family in Oregon, and every summer I convince myself I 
want to move there! Then winter rolls around in Arizona, and 
I decide that I'll stay! Till next summer that is....!
