I've been caught in snow before. It is kinda bizarre to ride in that is for sure. And a little bit scary...

No1 son went to college one day last December and the snow storm hit during the day. The college was closed so the students could get transport home. No1 son text and said he was on his way home. I assumed he would walk, but he arrived on his bike all of 10 minutes later, grinning from ear to ear. I was furious with him, but his argument he couldn't walk in his bike boots- hmm His mad mate Dan, dropped his Fireblade on the drive of his house as he got home.

I've also been caught in rain so bad I drowned my bike. Just too much water, it couldn't get enough air in through the soaked air filters! THAT was a wet miserable walk the last 2 miles home. In my riding boots, wearing wet leather...ugh

No1 son will sympathize and so will my husband. Hence we all invested in multi-seasoned gear and wear leather only on cool dry days. Mine is only 3 season which is good enough for the rides I do.
