Riding in the Rain... A Poll
Just finished a great ride despite the weather. I got up early today, planing to go to central park and click out a few laps but the weather got me down, so I stayed in and cleaned, thinking I'd go out tomorrow. By noon, having finished my laundry, cleaning my house, shaving, showering, everything I could think of, I decided to take my bike out to nearby Prospect Park instead. I pulled on my tights and longsleeved underarmor, a jersey, shorts shoes gloves and the rest, and out I went.
After 40 miles in the rain, I decided I need to do this more often! I loved it, I was soaked but not cold, and feelin great!
Back into the shower (took my helmet in with me to clean it... thanks bike forums!) and now I'm sitting around eating grilled cheese and lentil soup, relaxing, and it's still afternoon! What a nice use of the day!
So what I want to know is, do you guys ride in the rain? Or do you wait for a sunny day?
