I "braved" the rain yesterday. The ride home turned out to be a non-event. The roads were wet but no rain around 4:30pm when I left. Just got lucky, I guess. It did start raining later on when I was in the car driving home on the GSP. I'm unhappy with the longevity of the Performance Elite bib short. I have to look back at my receipt but I recall only having them for 6 months or so. The bib is pretty worn out and I don't want to showcase my gleuteus maximus to other cyclists anymore. Time to order anothe one. Will search BF for some suggestions. I still want to keep the price below $100. So maybe Castelli, Perl Izumi or Voler might have somthing. Should probably look for some sales on the usual bike retailer sites.

Edit: I ended up ordering a Simplicity Symmetry bib short from Voler: https://voler.com/browse/product/li/1B10032BLUXSM It was $69 so was hard to pass up.
