Were we prepared for this weather. -1 wind chill and freezing cold rain with winds of gusting about 60 k an hour. Well we were prepared in as much as we thought we could just buy what we needed as we went along…..wrong! First off most places were much smaller than we thought. So this makes for very limited shopping. Then of course it’s Spring here (huh?), and so why would you need water proof or very warm clothes.
I found a pair of gloves at Canadian Tire ( hope they like the plug) in St. Johns in the kids bike department. They are OK at best.
Poor Dave has tried a variety of ways of trying to keep his hands from freezing. He bought a pair of work gloves but they just got wet. The Copper Kettle place we went for lunch a couple days ago was very kind as they gave him another pair of work gloves and gave us both a pair of thin rubber gloves. I put mine over the bike gloves and it seemed to keep out the cold better. We are hoping for warmer weather.
Were we prepared to Cycle Across Canada?
