Light rain is fine. Down pours are not pleasant but I've done that, too. I prefer a good rain cape and a helmet cover. Rain chaps are nice if you have a cycling rain jacket. I wouldn't want to do a long commute in rain but just riding around recreationally in light rain is fun. I've had bad experience with puddles becauseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-45367886381610559752014-05-27T11:41:51.921-06:002014-05-27T11:41:51.921-06:00You don't hate the rain... just being outside ...You don't hate the rain... just being outside in the rain... or being inside because it's raining. :O) I think you need to find an appreciation for puddles.

As long as I let them dry out naturally and don't try to rush it, there doesn't seem to be too much damage. That said, we don't get a ton of rain, so if it was a daily - or even more frequent - occurrence, I would definitely be far more protective as I know the water G.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02748009691282638366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-42022531443663846022014-05-27T09:29:01.942-06:002014-05-27T09:29:01.942-06:00Our weather has been mostly cloud-filled with smal...Our weather has been mostly cloud-filled with small bits of rain and I think that was why the downpour kind of took me by surprise. However, the downpour for a few minutes is very typical here, which is why I should know better. <br /><br />I don't have any clothing that is completely rain proof, but I have better items that I should probably have chosen had I known what I was in for.

I'm actually not melting." It was an epiphany: if it rains, I get wet. That's all, no drama. <br /><br />The last time I got caught in a major downpour was hilarious.

In fact, on a previous trip here earlier this year, I was sitting in a coffee shop when a we heard a thunder clap followed by the sound of large rain drops. The shop's patrons spontaneously erupted into applause. It had been something like three months since the last rain. That's why I have a second home in Tucson - because of the Augsburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109555620818668190noreply@blogger.com
