Don't forget to stash some ziplock bags in your seat bag or Camelback or whatever, for your cell phone/camera/mp3 player so they don't get soaked.

Here in Florida it can be sunny one second and pouring the next. The nice thing is that the rain is warm and usually a welcome change from 95 degrees. The thing I hate the most is wet shoes...

Also, it's nice to have a safe place to put your sunglasses if it starts raining so hard you have to take them off. I luckily have a secure spot on my aerobars where they can wedge in and not touch the lenses on anything, but if I had to actually put them away, I'd hate to scratch the lenses on expensive glasses.

I saw someone riding in rain the other day with one of those flashing clip on red lights, in daylight. I wouldn't have thought of doing that during the day, but the rider was very noticeable.

_And_ a big fluffy towel and dry clothes in your car, if you drove somewhere to ride.
