Summer or Winter?

Summer rasa: Water was a big problem. No hiding from the heat. We had sleet riding into Masakala. -2 one day then 40+. Ended up riding a few nights and sleeping in the day to escape the heat. after all the mud and rain of winter 2022 I’m not sure which one I would prefer doing. At least you can dress up for the cold. All said and done winter or summer it will be challenging

I use lobster claw black diamond gloves for sub zero (can still operate brakes) and then merino liners with a thiner waterproof winter glove for temps around zero. Never had a problem with cold fingers

Used shimano xm7 for 2.9 RASAs. moved to shimano mt7 for 2022 RASA due to lack of availability of xm7. Both are gore tex but mt7 were a bit tighter. Would go back to xm7 if I could get them
