Honestly, I rather enjoy riding in the rain, as long as it is not too cold. After a certain point you can't get any wetter, anyway.
But then, I was born on the West Coast so it's kind of surprising I don't have webbed feet.
Speaking of such - I saw THE COOLEST thing on my way in this morning. There was a beaver swimming happily along in the river! I have spent years hiking to all kinds of remote areas and never spotted a beaver in the wild; so where do I see one? Right in the middle of Calgary! Craziness. I'd been riding right past its lodge for weeks, thinking it was a mass of flood debris. I also saw a Hooded Merganser, as a bonus.
In other words, a really good morning
No headwind, light traffic, a nice fast ride AND wildlife sighting. It doesn't get much better!
