Yesterday I got to ride in my first heavy rain. Actually when I got off of work it was only threatening rain, so I went over to a friend's to watch the new Trailer Park Boys. By the time it was over the rain had started, though not too bad. So from there, I crank it over to the bar where I had left my bulky rain suit.

The rain was now coming down pretty good but I was prepared as I was going to be, so I head for home. The only thing that got wet was my face and feet. Looks like I'll be getting those fenders after all. After the short trip home I found myself feeling the same as any other ride, "Over so soon?". I'll be looking into better rain gear immediately.

This morning was a great ride in; weather back to normal and dry. I hadn't been checking the air pressure in my tires like I should (basically I was just looking down at my bike tire to make sure it looked OK). I was about 15psi low so I pumped them back up. It made a noticeable difference and I'll definitely be checking my tires every other day or so from now on.
