Rode in today, screwed myself for the "get the earlier train in the east end" option by leaving too late for that, so I rode all the way over here. Started feeling drops and it slowly got heavier so I put on the goretex jacket and carried on - my only regrets were not bringing my waterproof gloves, and not bringing booties/bags for my shoes. My calves had got cold, they really tightened up, but I think that having two blocks of ice for feet probably helped that more than the wind/rain. All in all not a bad ride, but not something I'd want to repeat without the aforementioned apparel - I started to sag pretty heavily once I got past Westney Rd. in Ajax (at which point I know I'm "almost there" - stupid mind games! )
