Long Distance rain rides...what to wear?
So my first double century of the year is coming up on Saturday, and what do you know, it looks like the first rain of the year is as well. That's right, I've been back down in San Diego since just after New Year's, and it hasn't rained once. I've made it 15 doubles with no rain in the past two years (ah, California), but I think that's going to end now.
For all of you long distance riders: what do you wear in rainy weather? I want to travel as light as possible, and this looks like a fast course, so I should only be out for about 10-11 hours. I think it's going to be low 50s for most of the day, and showers, no heavy rain. I've heard of using sandwich bags over socks to keep your feet dry, and was thinking just of a light jacket shell over thin base layer, jersey, and shorts. Maybe arm warmers too. I usually run pretty warm. What would you do?
