Well, I left the house and I knew it was going to be warmer and windy. So I dressed in as I would for the weather and about 3 miles into my 11 mile commute, it started down pouring. I couldnt see with my glasses on so I took those off and within 2 minutes, I was soaked. The wind I can handle, the cold isnt too bad yet the rain... well it was fun!
I do have a few questions:
1- I use clear safety glasses and I couldnt see when I was riding. Is that typical?
2- The glasses also fogged up... is that typical too? (problem solved taking them off but it was annoying to have water in my eyes)
3- Do you all get soaked in the rain when riding or does it come down to the clothes still? Or do you just live with the fact that you will be soaked?
4- Do you go home in wet or damp clothes? Do you bring another pair or riding clothes with you? Normally I would think riding in the same clothes would be ok going home but I am a little nervous for today. The winds will be 40 mph at cold... down to the 30's.
5- Anyone trying to dry their clothes at work? Since I would in a kitchen, I attempted to dry my gloves off in the stove at a real low temp. Worked ok. I just hung up the rest.
Any tips, suggestiones, tricks of the trade?
Thanks!
