The rain feels GREAT when riding home in August. You want it on your skin. The only rain gear I have is fenders and water proof panniers.
One day in march... before I was commuting by bike... I was on my way to work and they said on the radio that it was 36 Degree's in Portland, Maine... and 32 Degree's in Jacksonville, Florida. I drive people to the airport from the Hotel I work at, and pick them up at the airport on their way back... and they were telling me how there wasn't much of a difference between Florida and Maine weather wise...
