It was supposed to snow here today and would have preferred that to the cold drizzle we are getting... back was killing me and did not feel like going anywhere but hopped on the bike anyways.
The drizzle wasn't as cold as I thought and riding in the rain can actually be an enjoyable experience... it reminds me of Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver and the people I love there who would not give this little spitting a second thought and ride anyway.
Used to hate the rain and said I would take our dry winter and extreme cold over cold and wet but that does not seem to be the case anymore.
Did some long rides this year and spent hours riding in the rain covering distances of 80-100km... it makes you appreciate the warmth you find when you get to your destination.
