Rode to work in the rain, light rain, this morning. Most of the rainy sound I was hearing this morning was from the breeze blowing the leaves of the maple tree just outside my bedroom window and dislodged water falling on other leaves so it sounded worse than it really was.

It was about 16C/60F when I rode it. Just in case, I wore a lightweight merino long sleeved shirt under my raincoat in case I felt chilled along the way and I was fine.

I thought the rain was over by 7:30 but it has started again and I have to ride downtown (10min) and back at lunch time for a promotional event for the Bike for United Way that a bunch of us are riding in next week so now that I'm warm and dry, I'm going to get wet again. The worst of it is wet shoes: paper towels don't dry them out enough.

I rode in the rain today, partly because the charity ride next week might be, at least in part, in the rain so I need to get used to it again.

Have a great day!
