The weather suggested rain somewhere, sometime. I bit, and got a good soaking for my troubles. It's ok, I like riding in the rain (there are limits, however). I took the Rivendell Atlantis (MIT == Made In Taiwan in their parlance) and rode East until I got wet, then rode North until I got wetter.
A good day to be riding around on a bicycle without a care in the world, or at least without the need to be able to leave things out in the open where they can get rained on. The rain, when it came, was sincere. This turned out to be the amphibious landing variant of the oft-ballyhooed hills-and-traffic drill. Wet, and good exercise. This is a bike that dares me to weigh it.
