Ridecamp: Re: [RC] riding in the rain

>>>>I'm not so sure that the cheap-o ponchos don't do just as good a job as
the more expensive options :)

I've sliced the front of my poncho up about half way and then punched holes
at the bottom edge.  I then tie (with a very light string that would break
very easy if I fell) the bottom edge to the front of my saddle. I also make
a slit in the back.  This makes a tent that stays over my saddle and keeps
it dry.  I also have added some ties to the side slits so that they are more
permanently together and that keeps my legs dry.   But then I am a little
less than 5 ft... so this may not work for everyone.  But I like to keep my
saddle dry.
