Rain 2012

I know it's early, but who's going to be riding RAIN this year? I'll be riding it for the first time.

More here. https://bloomingtonbicycleclub.org/events.php

I won't intentionally, but don't mind so much if I get caught in it when on a ride.

Riding in the rain is fun,
especially if you have the right gear

After decades of riding a motorcycle in adverse weather with and w/o the right gear, I finally realized and admitted it really isn't a lot of fun 99% of the time. So I plan on fair weather activities and am ok if I get caught in crap, just a realization I had getting older.

Hard to tell if the other replies are at all serious. I rode RAIN 2010. Great ride and I plan on doing it again, but only when I can budget the time, and have the legs, for the RAINSTORM ride the week before. Maybe 2013?

I'm signed up. I better get with it since my longest ride so far has been 60 miles.
