The weather lied, dammit. (Okay, they said scattered showers...and apparently they were scattered near the trail!) I got soaked. I went out with the intention of doing 30 miles, and actually did 34, but I spent the last half with a wet chamois, wet jersey, wet socks and a very dirty bike. I wound up taking two breaks while I waited for the rain to ease up. It wasn't too heavy, and my tires handled surprisingly well for being dry-only tires, but if I make a habit out of getting caught in the rain (surprisingly fun, actually, and makes for a good story for the rain-hating BF!), I'm going to need new tires.
