I actually decided to take the bike to work even thought it was raining.
![]() I put on my Nelson Riggs rain suit since it was raining at 5:45 am this morning when I left for work. Took off and thought "this isn't too bad". Then I got into a gully washer. About a third of the way there ( 19 miles one way ) I noticed my boots were wet. ![]() It actually stopped raining about 2 miles from work. The "payoff" was a beautiful ride home. Oh, my boots and gloves were dry by then. ![]() Jeff |

I rode this morning under threatening skies. Stayed dry on the way here...about 10 minutes later it started raining. Should just be a passing shower. Fuck it. We'll do it live.

Got a little wet yesterday on the way in. Mostly heavy fog and spray from cagers. That's why I keep a change of clothes at work

I got caught in two "gully washers" the first month I had the bike. Both times it was raining so hard I could only see 75' ![]() The saleshole at the cycle shop told me that my Olympia textile armored jacket was waterproof. When I stopped in to tell him I got soaked thru, he said " Oh, the LINER is waterproof". asshole |
