Keeping your money in good condition
Hi people
The title may sound a bit odd, but the problem was real. Two years ago I went for a ride from the UK down to Monaco; I was carrying the cash for the return part of the trip in a leather money belt/holder thing around my waist, along with my V5 and insurance.
Man it was hot, very very hot, for the whole holiday. When I got down to Monaco and after I’d done the F1 tunnel I stopped at the harbour and found I needed some more funds, so I got out my return stash. When I got the cash out I S**T myself the cash was in a bad way, so bad the colours of ink were starting merge with each other, and the notes had stuck together with all the moisture caused by me sweating like a bush pig.
What I found odd was I never had any problems spending the cash on that coffee I needed, I figured if had problems I could MAYBE get it replaced at a bank. My V5 and insurance papers had to be replaced when I got home, that’s how bad it was.
When I go on my big ass ride I’m going to be taking a lot more cash than I had on a two week holiday. Anybody had anything like this happen to them? How or what do you wrap your money in? Greased cooking paper then cling film? What kinds of bum bags do people use?
