I had tights and wool socks, so that helped. Everything is now hanging in the janitorial closet to hopefully drip dry during the day. And as tarwheel said, it is supposed to clear out by the afternoon and warm up to 69F, so it should be a decent ride home.
[MENTION=366933]mgw4jc[/MENTION] i rode this morning 40 degrees and constant sprinkle the entire ride. only 2 different times did it rain enough that covered my glasses. I finally wore my rain jacket in the rain. I stayed comfortable and dry. Even my socks were dry when I arrived at work. <3 my fenders and jacket. This might open up the possiblity of riding in so much different weather. I will be happy if it is 63 and sunny to ride home though!

[MENTION=341795]parkersdad[/MENTION] and [MENTION=86492]tarwheel[/MENTION] between the 3 of us riding we can pretty much tell each other about the weather across the state.
