I have a renttec rack to which i can attach one of those waterproof dry bags people use when they go sailing or in the wilderness etc. The rack has a grab rail built in as it replaces your original. Look em up

i've got both of the above but not used them together yet.

which race?

i used to ride to leeds (from preston) with my panniers on and a helmet and jacket for her, and the bring her back from uni on some weekends

she didn't mind too much but i was a bit of a squeeze but you get used to it, just remember to take breaks are they get tired/scrunched up more than we do

where you from (stick it in your profile so we can all see)
