my first ride in rain!

excellent

I rode in a downpour once, and I kind of enjoyed it in a perverse sort of way, once I was soaked I went with the flow, so to speak. Most of my clothing dried out very quickly once the rain stopped, so that was good.

You probably figured out that you had to be careful about braking, and to give yourself lots of extra room to stop .

Don't forget to re-lube the chain after you clean off your bike.

Welcome to the wet rat club

[edited to add]: times like this it is very good to have a screaming day glo-neon yellow jacket or vest, not so much for rain repellence, but just so you can be seen !
