Rain is inevitable here. It's actually fun to ride in rain as long as you have your mind ready for it.
As others have said, mind the painted bits of roads and railroad tracks. Leaves are quite slick, especially when they've started to decay just a bit. Unless you know for certain that there are no big potholes in that puddle, stay out of it!
As Lt._Gustl said--be careful. Here (and in Michigan) it can sometimes be just above freezing and still be raining. This is a recipe for disaster if you aren't clothed properly. Hypothermia is cruel reality. If your mind starts getting fuzzy, get into where it's warm if at all possible. At least get under shelter.
