As a former bike racer I made it a point to ride in the rain for two reasons. First, it provided me time on task training for wet weather riding/grip. Second, it was a chance to get quality training miles when many of my opponents wouldn't ride. There was one point in my "day job" career where I rode a bike at work and we didn't have a choice; you worked, you rode. The same went for cold, snow and ice; "don't ride faster than you're willing to fall" was what I drilled into co-worker's heads when it came to slick conditions. Just this weekend I rode about a hundred miles with @
RobbieTunes in the rain. In some ways it's better than a sunny day, you have the world all to yourself for the most part. I look at this way, one day I won't be physically capable of riding my bikes anymore, I don't want to regret all the miles I missed because I didn't want to get wet. If you don't ride on the bad days, how will you appreciate the good ones?
