Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bontrager Packable Stormshell - Gregg's Cycles
This is what I have. Really light, packs up into a square about the size of a rear jersey pocket and decently warm. I like the yellow over the black just because its different but color is up to you. Great jacket overall. I also have the cannondale Morphis. Its a good amount warmer and breaks into a vest, and is pretty water resistant, but its a little heavy for 70º even in vest form

It really depends on how long you are planning to ride. Anything longer than an hour in a steady rain, you will get wet, either inside or outside, regardless what you wear; on top of that, there are other parts of your body will also get web, e.g. shoes/socks. The key question is warmth.
