When you’re on a tight budget it’s surprising what can be managed. If you’ve got to ride in the rain without waterproof boots, a couple of carrier bags, not the ones with holes in, and a few elastic bands to hold them in place, before putting your boots on. Waterproof boots sorted :lol . Had to do that on a particularly wet TT in the ‘90’s. Then along came Gore Tex to make life a lot easier, although more of a threat to the wallet.

A long time ago, in a galaxy very close, I had a winter job in a quarry. All of us had carrier bags inside our boots, everyday, irrespective of weather.
