If there was an award for investigative journalism into cycling waterproof fabrics this would win! But the news is that the technology in all waterpoof clothing is going to be changing and some fabrics like Gore Shakedry will be disappearing very soon.

Burton to Glasson - over the tops.
An extra ride for the Wheelers was fitted in today, for those lucky enough to be retired! Murky and cloudy on the tops but otherwise warm and dry.
New lanes, for a few, were hard work but a reward to see new territory even if the clouds were blowing across our path!

6 Wheelers out for delightful coffee and cheery service at The Quayside, Glasson Dock 😁 👍
