Wet Biking

[50000tears]

Don't mind it. Generally you get as wet as you are going to get in first 5 minutes so after that you might as well enjoy yourself.

Just cancelled my Sky Ride for this Sunday as the weather forecast gives a 90% chance of rain. Now if I'm out on a ride it rains and I get soaked so be it but I'm buggered if I'll go out into the rain to get soaked would you?

You big wuss.
Call yourself a cyclist .....

I find if you are wearing the right gear it doesnt make a difference after 5 minutes riding.

But the coffee and cake stops are so much nicer than dry days.

I admit I prefer to be a fair-weather rider. If I'm already out and it rains... well, tough, that's why I brought the rain jacket with me. If it's already raining, I don't go out.

Unless I have booked to be somewhere. I drove 2 hours to get to a forum ride knowing that the forecast looked showery. It began to rain as we set off and the "shower" lasted the next 4 hours . It was a warm day, so after 10 minutes and we were all as wet as we would get, it was a very pleasant ride!

We have a 4 day tour coming up next week and the weather looks showery again....

I commute every day by choice. Rain is just rain.Once soaked you dont get any wetter. Modern kit makes a huge difference. I try to dry it at work as theres nothing worse than putting on wet gear for the commute home.

Unless you are the poor sod who has to mop up the cafe floor after your visit; or the even poorer sod who sits in your seat after you!
