I couldn't ride much last week due to business travel, but I commuted Friday (20 miles), all of it in the rain (not too cold - about 45 degrees). Saturday looked mostly clear, so I took the "summer" bike out for a 40-miler, but ran into rain half way through, and rode the last 20 miles in light rain. Bike was a mess when I got home because it had no fenders, and my feet were frozen. I cleaned it up, and then took it out again today on wet roads and light mist for 20 miles.

Tonight I have to clean both bikes (my summer bike and my commuter) and put new brake pads on the commuter. They wear out really fast in the winter grit.
