I only rode my cycle to work twice this week because I had other things to do that required the car. And, believe it or not, I had to ride home in the rain BOTH days. It isn’t just getting wet – that I could handle on the way home, since I’m going to change clothes anyway. But it is the rain in the eyes that is troublesome. Even wearing glasses, the rain gets in my eyes, making it hard to see. Then there is the matter of rain drops traveling at 25 or 30 mph when they hit your face. They are a bit more painful when they are traveling at that speed! And cold. Even this time of year being wet and having the wind and rain going by you at that speed cools you off quite a lot. Hopefully I have the rainy riding done for a while!
