I pushed on through the rivers in the streets and the pellets of rain against my skin. The whole ride I had the biggest ***** eating grin on my face. There were a couple of times that I was laughing out loud!! I literally haven't had that much fun on a bike since I was a little kid. Just wanted to share.
In warm weather the rain pants and rain jacket are much to restrictive and hot. Hard rain in the eyes is a bit too much so glasses help. I had much the same experience last Monday - didn't quite outrun the storm but had a great time.
