I have walked in the rain many times and while it isn’t my favorite thing to do it isn’t so bad that it would keep me home. Today however the weather man betrayed me and I got stuck in the rain when I was about 20 miles from home. This was not a cloud burst rain. No additional felines or canines were deposited on the earth because of this rain but it was a steady light rain like the ones that are just hard enough to make you keep your windshield wipers on low steady for. If I were to rate it on my bicycling Fun-O-Meter I would place it above a root canal but close to a plaque scraping. I was already wet so I decided to pretty much finish my ride except that I took a few short cuts that cut 5 or 6 miles out of the trip. Unlike just being cold the moisture seems to make the coldness reach all the way into the joints. I don’t even want to get into how the face feels. But the “hot” shower when I got home felt heavenly.
