Howdy from the rainiest city in the US. (That's kind of misleading since we get our showers in short bursts, rather than the day-long drizzle some places have) I actually don't mind the rain, since its cooler when it's raining, and the world just seems quieter and more natural somehow. I don't like the Sun anyway. I have some waterproof pants (waterproof shorts would be better) and put on a poncho over everything up top and just take it slow. Fenders would help immensely, but I haven't got around to that yet. Remember, being soaked with rain is much cleaner and more comfortable than being soaked with sweat!

Now, wind-driven freezing rain is another matter entirely...
