You're right on......the only way to truly know is to experiment. Hopefully this Sunday's experiment will be how much sunscreen we need to apply. Bob Hey Peter,

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. You’re right on……the only way to truly know is to experiment. Hopefully this Sunday’s experiment will be how much sunscreen we need to apply.

I've got all the gear for cold wet riding and plan to deploy as necessary for the Ironman next Sunday. Lance has an advantage most of us don't have-a mechanic to clean up his bike after a wet session. An important aspect of riding in adverse conditions should be noted. By taking an hour spin in the rain, you get a chance to test your gear and decide if its working for you. The only way to get good at selecting the right combination of layers for the conditions is to experiment in those conditions. That being said, I test in the cold regularly, but save my wet experiments for the Ironman. Hope to see you and the sun on Sunday. Bob:
