One word: RAIN!!!!

Luckily, it was 46 degrees and the wind was light. I made it 43 miles, which was my goal for this morning. Lots of love and groovy vibes to the manufacturers of Gore-Tex. LOL. Aside from my hands and face, everything stayed dry. I wore an old pair of LG Lobster-style gloves w/wool glove liners which kept my hands dry for about an hour. Thank goodness they never got cold.

I don't mind riding in rain so long as I stay warm. The only real bummer is the clean up afterward.
