2009 was when I decided I wasn't going to pay any attention to weather forecasts. There were too many of these types of days where I regretted not riding. I actually kept track and I rode in the rain 15 time in 2009 and 10 times in 2010. I have yet to ride in the rain this year. Granted, I am not a daily rider, but I have gotten into a MWF schedule that I make, rain or shine from the middle of March through the end of November. I do also have indoor parking for my bike, so I don't care if it rains during the day. I decided that I was loosing too many days and I just needed to make a schedule and keep it. It has worked out pretty well so far.
