oh that's funny!! yeah, I figure if I am riding a 400k then I will be riding into the rain at some point. my hope is the rain is going west to east during the morning when I am going east to west so I get it for a shorter period of time. but I doubt that'll happen.

it rained at about the 200k mark of the 600k last year - rain so thick it was hard to breathe. I survived.
