If having scenery like that in your backyard doesn't get you out riding I don't know what will! Keep the pics coming.

BTW, I have every piece of rainwear known to man. You're going to get wet regardless...it's just a matter of how much. Maybe wearing it has its psychological advantages but as you said, once you get wet and as long as it's not too cold it's really not too bad. I don't mind getting rained on if I'm already riding. But to start in the rain is much more mentally challenging for me.......
