I, too, love that Raleigh Competition^^^^^^

Getting back into my Boston commutes after 3 months in NYC.

Fortunately, I had set up my city bike for my return (I'd been on my folder in NYC). It's running so sweetly. Weather was intense this morning. High gusting winds with a pelting rain and cold. Sometimes the wind was so strong I had to stand to keep up some speed on level ground.

My rain gear:

Showers Pass Jacket, Gore Tex rain pants, Showers Pass rain hood, Showers Pass shoe covers, Gore tex mitten covers over Polar Tec gloves. I was dry as a bone when I arrived 10 miles later.

Had the bike path pretty much to myself saw only 4 other cyclists and a half dozen joggers and a few walkers, including one woman basically pushing a huge umbrella down the path into the wind and rain.

The ride home was calmer and drier- no white caps on the Charles River.
