Riding in the rain sucks.

We have been having rain storms since Monday and it sucks. We had our Wednesday night ride and we ended up riding for about 5 miles through pouring rain. Tonight I went and ate and then rode to the grocery store and it was pouring on the ride back home.
I had a overnight trip planned out this weekend. It isnt much, 20 miles there and 20 miles back. I just got a new tent, a Kelty Grand Mesa 2, and I wanted to try it out.

I am still thinking about going on the trip but we have a 40 chance of rain. It is most likely going to rain, so ill probably going to have to ride in it loaded. Is there anything I should be concerned with? I have done some overnighters previously, so what I am concerned with is the ride.

BTW Planet Bike Hardcore fenders for touring bikes, do a wonderful job in rain.
