Yeah, we're way too dry -- a multi-year drought. I'd love some heavy snows. Oh, and on my ride I at nothing (part of turned out to be a 30 hour fast). I wore my MUSA knickers and various wool Riv stuff till it warmed up. Being an idgit, I got burned a wee bit riding back in my t-shirt. I forgot to bring my Long sleeve Riv cotton shirt for after an hour in the sun. Had my Tilly but neglected to put it on. Forgot I'm a very white boy whole been bundled up all winter. Dumb, dumb, dumb. It'll turn to tan in a day or so.
