Yesterday was so nice and I was so busy early in the morning, I did not check the weather for the next day; so I did not know the good weather was going to end...
Yesterday, I had to get on the bike and appreciate the warmth..
Returning today after Nite shift, it was really foggy and a heavy drizzle for about 8 miles of my 26 mile commute.
Thank God I live in So Cal. I am not used to that crappy weather.Slowed down my time by about 30 minutes. The grit on the road had turned to mud..
I am retentive about my bikes. My panniers are covered with mud. Drive chain covered with grit. I had to wash that stuff off before I could go to bed. Even though the rain was really a heavy drizzle, the dark substance just oozzed off the drive train. I washed it just about two weeks ago.. Seems I noticed drivers seem a little more wacky and out of control in the wet conditions.
