I learned 45+ years ago not to try to wait out rain, unless I could see blue skies on the horizon. If you let rain keep you in place waiting it out, it'll never end. So bite the bullet, pack up your wet stuff and try to ride into a drier weather pattern. With any luck it'll dry during the next night, or in the AM.
OTOH - my personal record is 4+ consecutive wet days. Forget dishpan hands, I had dishpan body, and everything I owned looked and smelled like it was dragged through a swamp. But it all came out OK when I got home.
