Sharon and I went for a very wet ride today to meet some ADVrider friends for lunch at Alice’s Restaurant in Woodside.

Along the coast there wasn’t much rain but we got soaked on the ride back along Skyline. One of the weak points of the Aerostich Roadcrafter one piece suit is the zippered crotch.

It leaks.

It gets cold down there and shrinkage occurs. I should take the time to apply some SeamGrip or bees wax to the the zipper to keep the water out. Then it won’t look like I had an accident.
