Besides wet feet...it was actually enjoyable riding in the rain...it wasn't that big of a deal at all. So this this year...a little rain is not going to stop me. (riding in thunder and lightning and sideways rain into a 30mph wind...thats a different story)

Thats how it starts. Next you get caught in a down pour and realize its not so bad either, and kind of fun in a way. Then you start looking forward to "weather". Then your wife has to call you and plead with you to get a ride home after the 10" of snow that fell during the day.
At least thats what happened to me.

Congratulations.
