I ride in the rain as often as possible; not because I like it but to escape the worst traffic jams. People always think I'm nuts for riding then but I know it's the best way to travel during those times. My favorite views during the rains are the interstate/beltway overpasses when the I see the traffic at a standstill and I'm flying over them, on the secondary roads. This always washes away any negative rain thoughts. Todays ride was one of those moments. Charlie
