Theme: Riding in the rain

We are very enthusiastic about biking but we can not control the weather. Rainy week is ahead thus the theme for this week is Riding in the rain.  Hope we can still squeeze some biking in between the rain drops. The weather forecast for the Labour Long Weekend looks more promising.

Did you know?

"riding in the rain increases the risk of punctures. Why? Rain washes out debris from the side of the road into your path, and this combined with the fact that water acts as a lubricant, helping small pieces of flint or glass to penetrate the tire, is why you’re more likely to puncture when riding in the rain.

You can reduce the risk of punctures either by investing in latex inner tubes, since latex is better able to deform around sharp objects compared to butyl, or going down the tubeless route. "
