I rode all day but no chance to dry gear, it turned damp in evenning into dry gear, hot food d drinks but tired and started to chill. into full waterproofs, and damp bag u der tarp. it eventually dried out. first hour quiet I felt quiet cold but improved. I called cavalry, "I'm not going to drive out the to collect you mide week. feta hot breakfast. it your adventure ."
