I hit Mt Washington on an early season day, a few years ago. It was cold as hell, raining sideways, and the mud was unbelievable. Problem was that it was sunny and warm as I departed my house in Nanaimo.
Woefully underdressed for the conditions, I was ready to call it a loss and turn around for home. However, some smarty in the ski shop put their remaining plaid / fleece long sleeved “shirts” on sale for $20. There was red and blue to choose from.
It was a saviour! I’m pretty sure they sold out of them as many other riders were sporting the same solution, that day. So funny to see everyone in matching plaid, soaked and muddy but having a blast.
