This isn't a post about when it rains it pours...you know lots of good things or lots of bad things...I am literally talking about rain. I woke up this morning it was pretty much downpouring. No in a previous month or week this probably wouldn't have been a big deal. But now I am carless and well had to get to work by 10am. Luckily enough I have slowly been buying rain gear over the years to use while biking...but every time it rained before, I would just drive.
Today I had no other option. I put my work stuff in water proof bags, put on my rain paints and jacket and hit the road. And you know it wasn't too bad. The worst part was the rain hitting my face and there is nothing I can do about that. I also forgot to wear shoes covers so my feet got soaked...but I planned ahead for that and brought an extra pair of socks and shoes.
All in all it was a good experience. I am glad I finally was forced into using all my rain gear and I made it. My shoes and socks were soaked but I expected that. My ears got a little cold but I can deal with that in a future ride. I am totally going to do it again :) Not that I want to ride in the rain but I am excited my gear works so well. Use this as inspiration to get out on your bicycle and ride to work....in rain or shine...cold or warm. I have been doing it all summer and it is pretty great!
