So on today's commute home I got stuck in the rain. Well, let me rephrase. Stuck in a torrential downpour.

Got home okay (was riding very conservatively due to very limited vision and the conditions and not exactly trusting brakes... thank god i wore my fluorescent yellow jacket this morning!) but now I want to make sure my bike is okay. I wiped all the mud off of her and wipe her chain dry, I will let it airdry in the garage tonight and tomorrow will relube her (my car is in the driveway getting a bath, today Lady gets the garage all to herself for being such a good little steed) but want to make sure I don't miss something important to keep her performing well. I did make sure to wipe very carefully the brake pads and the tires.

And I had a BLAST riding in the rain! Who'd have thought it was that fun! Plus, the trail was all to myself, and I kept getting those 'oh man that girl is CRAZY' looks from the motorists. Hehe.
