Hey, at least that gigantic saddle bag will keep most of the water from spraying up the crack in his backside!

I was mislead in my youth. I kept hearing over and over on FM radio that it doesn't rain in California. The last 2 TdMIL's included substantial rain.
In reality, 2 years ago I brought a pair of fenders down for the Pro Tour, but quickly realized I could have wider tires or fenders, but not both, and chose the comfort of wider tires. It's really an excellent credit card tourer except for this one fault. I had plenty of time while climbing Kings Ridge to think of splitting the fender and McGivering a solution that had part of the fender behind the fork crown and the other in front - there's just not adequate clearance there. For a good fenderline I could certainly do the same in the rear.
It would be nice not to have this happen
