All kinds of firsts for me lately, but I guess that is to be expected as I haven't been commuting for that long. Today was my first ride in the rain. I had been a bit nervous about it and turned down the offers of people at work to drive me home. I had new rain gear and fenders, and the ride was very enjoyable. The temperature was in the 60s and the new clothes were breathing comfortably. The Sunday afternoon traffic was fairly light, and I actually saw another cyclist out on the road. I was rather proud of myself that I didn't get passed. Got home and wiped down my bike. Not a very good place in the house for that, so next time I'll have to set out some newspaper in advance.
