Did I say the worst part of racing in the rain is your shoes filling up with water. Wrong!! The worst part is finding out your rear tubie is full of water.

Deciding whether to see if a return to high temp's and low humidity will dry it out, or if I should rip the tire off. Grumble... Next time, I'm putting the clinchers back on.

Still wet in Arizona. We just had a NWS warning for a dust storm, maybe 15' before a massive, drenching storm hit. TallWife had flatted on our recovery ride, and I don't carry 32mm Schrader tubes. So I hustled back, and the wind hit just as I was leaving in the car. I got to her just as the lighting started. Stoplights were going out, and streets flooding, as we made our way back home. Her experience with Hurricane Betsy as a child (evacuation by boat) has her terrified of major storms, so I was in the nick of time.
