Nope - that picture was taken at Assateague Island - mile 63 - and I was pretty wet at that point - the rain gear made it tolerable, but not completely dry. But, you can only get soaking wet. I'm standing not far from that little Sika deer who was mooching cranberry bread off of riders (Mmmmm, sand covered bread! Extra crunchy! ). I'm also resting (and holding) my arm on the fence as it was hurting pretty badly by that point (neck issues).
I guess I'm too stubborn (or stupid?) to say "no" in the face of rain. (or maybe it's cheap - hey we paid for the priviledge of this ride!) Would I ride in conditions like that at home? Heck no. It's pack mentality. Everyone else is going, why shouldn't we? Answer: Because the smart people are back in their warm dry hotel rooms.
I'll be back next year. If nothing else, it gives DH and me an excuse to get away for the weekend. I really hope it's nice and that Cyclesome and everyone else is there to enjoy a ride that - when it's nice, can be awesome!
