After reading this thread, I figured us in California shouldn't complain about the rain....well maybe. Since it's usually warm down here when we get rain, it pours rather than drips.

Yesterday, after it "poured" rain all morning, my cycling pal and I went for a ride. It was pretty foggy (this often happens after a storm comes through), but we figured we could get in a good ride.

41.43 miles later- mission accomplished! Our bikes were a mess as were we covered with mud splattered from the road and passing cars.

BUT, it was indeed a great ride and we'll do it again after the holidays.

I thought of you all up there when we were cleaning our bikes (with a hose and some Bikewash). What a pain to keep everything clean!

Kudos to you all that ride rain or shine!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
