Not my best vehicle choice
The born-again Trek sits in Newberg halfway through riding Volcanoes vs. Farmland today. Note that it has no fenders. Note that the ground is wet. It was foggy for the first 6 hours of the loop, and the fog was extra damp, so a lot of that damp got picked up by the wheels and flung into the bicycle and its driver.
Sigh. At least it wasn’t freezing out, so I could stay damp-but-warm most of the time.
