52° and raining today. Century jacket held up just fine keeping my top half dry (except my head). Everything from just above my knees down to my toes, however, got wet, stayed wet, and was cold.

Thank goodness I brought two extra pair of socks - one for wearing at work, and one for the ride home. Unfortunately, had a lunch with some friends (none from work), so I used up the 'ride home' socks at lunch. Not that it matters - my road shoes have so many vents that my feet will be soaked in 5 minutes anyway.

Plastic baggies over the fronts of my shoes would do wonders, and a shower cap on my helmet isn't out of the question. I'm holding off on any clothing purchases until after Christmas, as I need to leave something for my wife to gift me.


Edit: 2nd day in a row I had a rear blinkie try to commit suicide. First one was recovered, but will never clip again. Second one is none the worse for wear. However, both of them have now been placed under restraints 'for their own protection'. That is, zip-tied to my seat bag and helmet.
