And it sucked!! This was my first time ever riding in the rain and it absolutely sucked. I don't know how you guys (that ride in the rain a lot) do it. They called for 10% chance of rain, so I rode the bike to work. Was nice all day till 30 min before punchout time and it got dark...right in the direction I was going. I made the gamble and left thinking I could beat it. Not a chance. The sky opened up and it was pouring...hard. I had on a mesh jacket and I was freezing. Ended up stopping at a gas station to let some of it pass, but I still had 30 miles to go home, and it rained for about 25 of those miles. The only part of me that stayed dry was my head.
Now for a question... I was really nervous about the bike slipping out from under me. What is the chances of that actually happening? I was trying to ride in the section of the lane that wasn't holding any water, but at times it was unavoidable. And I was even more nervous in the turns. I hope to never experience that again. And after the bike was filthy!
