A night late, but I got a decent sleep last night and rode today. Has been raining on and off a fair amount for 2 days and is still warm here. Wind was blowing hard off the lake, but not such a big deal on my particular route.

Todays ride in a good rainfall taught me a few things:
1) Fleece pants hold a lot more water than you'd think
2) The crappy trainers I wear to ride in are still crappy in the rain. And they let water in.
3) My Goretex jacket is great in the rain and wind.
and finally 4) My gloves are definitely NOT waterproof.

Great ride in, loved every minute of it today. Comments when I got in were of the "Great day for a bike ride eh?" and "You rode in in this?" variety, hehe.

29 mins, 14.7 avg. (Fastest time since I've been back, I think! )
