I've kind of gotten bitten by the charity ride bug and I have been looking at some opportunities for area rides for 50 miles or so.

All rides carry the disclaimer that they ride rain or shine but reserve the ride to cancel.

I have always viewed my road bike with its skinny tires as a fair weather ride, so here is what I am asking.

On a road bike, when is it, for you, too wet to ride?

I know mountain bikers ride in all sorts of weather but to me anything beyond a low level drizzle would be off putting to say the least. Which leads to how much rain gear does a road biker need?

So share your thoughts.
