Yesterday the weatherman said 80% chance of rain today. Just as I left the house, it started to sprinkle and it was a full on rain for about a mile and half. It is 80 degrees at 80% humidity in FL at 6:30 AM this time of year, so the rain felt good. And the fenders work great. And the waterproof panniers really were. And a tailwind the whole way. The tailwind plus the "car suck" from the freight train cars whooshing by at 65 MPH on the highway pushed me up to 27 MPH at one point. Ah, yah can't beat it.
