A wet one in DC this morning, even with temps in the 40's it felt kinda balmy. Only saw one other rider-in full rain gear. Even with the steady rain, I managed to stay fairly dry and had a great ride. My cap, winter riding jacket, and gloves were plenty warm and rain resisitant. My new fenders kept spray off my back and backpack and my change of clothes stayed nice and dry in their plastic bags. I did put the hammer down a little bit and ended up beating my normal time. I guess I have more of this to look forward to this afternoon and tomorrow but I'm comitted to riding every day this week (it'll be my first time since last fall). People at work think I'm crazy for riding in this weather, but it actually felt really good.
