Thanks! A raincoat wouldn't have helped, though; see this account of the event by someone who was trying to ride the whole 24 hours and couldn't because of the cold and wet. (But wow, his mileage puts me to shame, to shame!!)

I did not camp out; I came off the loop just before 11 PM and went home to take a hot shower (I was shivering so much when I walked into the house, I couldn't even feed the poor starving beasties until I'd gotten warmed up), which I wanted to stay in WAY longer than I did, dry stuff and wash stuff, and then sleep.

By the time I got to camp the next day, the clouds were starting to break, and most of Sunday was fine for riding, even sunny for some hours. And then clouds rolling in again, dark clouds, and there were just a few raindrops on my windshield as I drove away -- I rode right up to 4 PM, when the event finished -- but other than that, I didn't see rain that afternoon. It had clearly rained hard at my house, about 25 minutes away, though, for it was very wet when I got home.
