I had a pretty nice commute home in the rain last week. The only problem was that my shields got water on the inside and I had to take them off in order to see...yeah, I know, highly overrated, huh?

The rain was medium to heavy, but was not painful except at a couple of points where my speed is the highest...my average speed only dropped about 1/2 mph, though.
I was soaked through when I got home. And everything that was in my pannier was dry...except for my iPhone, which was in the bottom, sitting in about 1/2 inch of water. Went yeaterday and got seam sealer to tighten the bag up a bit.
Luckily the phone is okay, after shaking all the water out, and letting it sit overnight. I was scared for a bit, because the backlight and the mute button looked like they were not going to work.
