Hillyman, you don't ride your road bike in the rain? How come?
I don't mind rain as long as it's not cold. The lightning is what my club had trouble with. I brought my cycling rain jacket but left it in the car thinking my windbreaker would be enough. That thing soaked up water like a sponge. The rest stop that we were at told us it was going to get worse and it did. It was coming down like a carwash. This was just a charity ride so there wasn't any glory to gain dodging lightning bolts
