Re: Mesh and mountains

I got a Scorpion "Ventech" EXO mesh jacket with a possibly water resistant liner.

And you still don't know. Take a ride to Washington and tour the state. I am sure Mother Nature will arrange a test for water proof clothing if you ask nicely. And buy a T-shirt.

Ww, hope to make it as far as santa Rosa (with lots of crisscrossing) if my back doesn't give out completely. Maybe Washington on the way to Alaska next year. Assuming I can buy a new spine...

Re: Mesh and mountains

Alaska next year............sounds wonderful. We make it to Mile 175 on the Alaska Highway before my back went south. Not because of the riding though. I wasn't even on the bike at the time. Just a victim of circumstances and bad timing on my part. Not near as bad as 5 years ago when I was laid up for 7 weeks with a really trashed back but continuing on may have been a worse choice than gently riding home with lots of stops and rest.
