:laugh: Sounds just like our recent “Gorillas In the Mist Ride” it was the same, steamy, muddy, wet, sloppy but FUN FUN FUN :woohoo:

Wet and muddy was pretty well the theme for all of 2009 up this way after having 3 floods in the one year.

I find it hard to believe you ride without googles Mick. I see you do it so much and it scares me, its one of the more stupid things you do :laugh: . Its dumb and stupid when a pair of safety specs do the job or setup up properly to ride . I use twin lenses and tear offs NEVER fog and tear offs work a treat unless its pouring all day and then its the trusty rag

You only have one set of eyes mate

:blush: I did it too TB, as most of us did on the Gorillas Ride :unsure:
We got caught out & were underprepared I suppose. I for one have now included a light pair of safety specs in my bumbag for such an occasion

I used to run the amber ones accasionally at the MTB races years ago & they were great in the wet, dark conditions

[Mick DMember]

I never used to have my visor down when I rode road bikes either,it is kind of a claustraphobia thing for me. :blush:

[TrentMember]

How often do you bin the twin lenses TB? I had a pair of scott twin lenses and they barely lasted me 1000kms of riding before the lenses separated and the foam delaminated.

I’m going to head down the local pool and see if I can get some anti fog spray for my pro-grips and instead of leaving my safety glasses in my backpack I might get them out next time. I ended up with lots of little cuts across my nose after the murphsberg ride.

[GregMember]

About 9 months to date and around 4000kms I would guess maybe more without working it out and they are still brand new. I am anal about my googles and looking after them and preparing them before a ride though :blush:

I only replaced the lenses in my first Draggons and they are over 4 years old :ohmy:

[Dwayne OMember]

Yes TB is very particular about his goggles (anal even) :laugh:

But look at the use he gets out of them,,,, well worth the effort for longevity of lenses & not to mention the vision quality & EYE SAFETY

[TrentMember]

Best you start a goggle care thread me thinks TB

[GregMember]

Ha I could AB and I might but its way out there, I tried to teach Kylie. I helped her get tear offs etc but alas my student stopped or gave up :laugh:

I will think about it

TB

[TrentMember]

Thanks mate ;)I really should’ve asked when you had nothing better to do hey :p

[GregMember]

Alright AB remind me next week if I forget and I will
