Rainy day

The temp was very nice 50 F (10 C), but it rained the whole way. My outer shell held up nicely with only my lower sleeves getting wet. My shorts got soaked, but it felt good to be bare legged. One of
my paniers, the one with my work clothes did not make it too well. I am trying to figure out if I didn't close the zipper all the way or whether water got in some other way. The outer roll of my pants and shirt were soaked. The way back will be interesting, thunderstorms and wind gusts up to 30 mph ( 50 kph). Wind gusts have a way of unnerving me, when I get slammed the first time during the ride. It's difficult to create a small profile on a bike.
