As for your question, get fenders and be sure everything is greased with thick grease. This year we are in a mild la nina, so there is a good chance that the rain/flooding will be especially heavy.

In all seriousness (difficult for me, at best) ... if we're really talking about a torrential downpour ... think fenders are worth anything? They may be. I've never had 'em. I'm just thinking about driving sheets of rain, and whether the fenders are--in that case--really substantively keeping BB, rider, or anything else materially drier....

Thoughts?
