Well, the ride in question was rescheduled to yesterday and proved a lovely day for a ride. Temperatures varied from 17° F to 67° F. And there were some astonishing capricious winds in the afternoon, blasting me forward one moment, 25 mph with no wind noise in my ears, and bringing me nearly to a standstill a minute later.
No rain! But the advice I've gleaned from this thread will not go to waste.
