Velo...If we had more than 20 days of rain here per year, if we have that; I would have to bit the bullet..But, I don't...Strange, I have the gear to ride in the cold rain..But, it still felt uncomfortable....With enough bike withdrawl, I guess I would...Just so rare about these parts we get 4 straight days of rain..As I have said...In a warm rain, I might give it a try.
