I tell ya....if the wind had been blowin any harder...I'da been wishin for a full face or a 3/4 helmet. Not for the moving air...but to keep the water spray off the face...dang that's painful.
I love my wetsuit .... could stay out all day if I wanted, too bad the dry suits are as pricy as they are otherwise I'd prolly be riding in the winter time as well.
When I was on the Fire Dept we would train with the dry suits for ice water rescue. We were suited up and would start the : I am Gumbe! No I am Gumbe. Mock wrestle and push each other, kick snow and dance around. The Chief would get sooo pissed!
