Rain Gear?

[Owlie]

I already have arm warmers, and i will try to find the showers pass stuff. when i went look for water proof things that were light everyhing was like 300. But its probably a good investment piece. I am still losing weight and didn't want to go for an XL when i may be down to L in a week or two. Maybe I should still order up so there is more room for layers! thank you everyone for the advice!

Now I know i can somewhat confidently ride in rain it may be worth investing in the gear, because that is just more times i can ride! Now i just need someone to tell m how i should treat my bike post rain. Im still pretty unclear on a lot of general maintenance, I do dry it off, and brush of mud, but i am unsure of the gears/chain after the rain

After a rainy ride, the chain and cassette will need to be washed and re-lubed. Grab a bottle of degreaser (or degreaser concentrate, and mix up according to the instructions) and either a rag (or several) or one of those chain-cleaning contraptions. You want the chain to be silver again, rather than black. (You won't get it to factory brightness again, but get close.) Then clean the cassette and get all the gunk out of there. Wipe off the chain rings too. Then relube the chain with your choice of lube, and you're good to go. (Just don't put too much on there. A drop or two on each "bump" should do it.)
