Should get more to the cause tomorrow unless another freak deluge happens after work. The right attitude though nigel, I shall try my best albeit that im missing some gear to cope with more than a heavy shower.
tbh I bought a good waterproof jacket but it's no help. IME to be waterproof rather than showerproof a jacket needs to be winter type thick, which is no good at this time of year, and even then in the kind of rain we're getting they don't help, nothing keeps it out short of the kind of industrial strength rubber that will turn into a sweatbox anyway. I've ended up getting as wet as wet could be so I'm now looking for a lightweight wind/showerproof that will just keep me warm, I'm prepared to put up with drowning so long as I'm warm while it's happening [but not the kind of tropical warm that comes with my fully[?] waterproofed jacket.].
I've had two fullout drenchings in the last week or so and frankly I'm thinking I'd rather just not bother with a jacket at all, I'll go out when it's dry wearing a base layer and a good overshirt and if it starts raining then I'll just ride wet.
