My first post here on this list. I rode home tonight in pouring rain. Strange thing happened about halfway home, I looked down at my front derailer and noticed I had foam on my knees, I was wearing shorts. What the hell! Either my shorts still had soap in them or it was sewage from the creek. The bike path here in D.C. goes along Rock Creek Park and there's signs posted saying that during heavy downpour sewage may be released into creek, so don't go in the water. There was a lot of water splashing up from flooded areas, but hell, I wasn't in the creek. I hope it was just soap.

Another strange thing. About a mile from home I noticed my sterring got stiff. It seemed that the steering stiffened up from the water, strange. I just bought this bike and this is the first time in the rain, I have disc brakes, so maybe something peculiar to them.

Love riding in the rain though.
