Riding a Metric Century in the rain?

I found today that when I stopped the bike my sunglasses immediately fogged. They cleared as soon as I started up again, but it was something of a surprise. The visor on my helmet was very helpful though.

I did a metric in the rain in June. You've gotten some good advice about avoiding the painted lines and metal covers. Try not to take your turns and stops too fast. Also, add some lights, front and back. Oh, and watch out for the other guy.

Looks like I'll be riding the livestrong ride in the rain tomorrow. I'm not thrilled about it, but it won't be as bad as the time I did the Sea Gull century in a nor'Easter. Will have to be careful on the descents, though.

Thanks for the tips everyone. The rain actually held off and it ended up being a great ride. It drizzled a few times but nothing too bad. I did notice my glasses getting fogged up at stops too the few times it was drizzling.

It was my first metric century and I completed it feeling great. (I am so glad it didn't pour rain too. I can't wait for my first century ride now! It ended up being 66 miles.
