Lightening on the other hand makes me a little hesitant and actually increases the pucker factor considerably. I am still likely to ride...no specific rain gear...It's 17 miles each way so I plan on getting wet and count on a shower at work or home to warm up. I've ridden 104 days so far this year...I haven't driven since April 28th. That included some rain days. but for the most part around here the forecasters always hype rain events. I will check the radar pre-ride to see what I am up against...sometimes delaying my departure to avoid the worst as best I can. :-)
