Enjoy it. I love to ride in the rain. The one thing I always have in my bag (commuting) or vest (commuting and fun) are my goggles in case of rain. Other than that I just reduce speed a little. When I'm commuting rain is a little dicey because my bike (old Schwinn) has horrible brakes when wet (has to do with the wheels, which will be rebuilt soonish).
