Of the out-of-pocket expenses associated with my participation in Enduro Africa (e.g., postcards, postage, international transfer fees, t-shirts, etc.), none has me feeling giddier than this one: Off-road riding gear.
Last night, I placed an order for Fox Racing 360 racing jersey, pants, and gloves (rugged, padded, yet fully vented for hot conditions), and Moose Racing M1 boots with all terrain heel (well-made, replacement parts, economical).
Here's the full list of essential riding gear and equipment.
Next up: Helmet, goggles, armor, and accessories. Stay tuned - pictures of me all suited up coming soon!
