I was definately not prepared

So today was a pretty nice day, and it was good weather, fairly warm. I decided that I would go and get my bike between classes. Its still kinda light out when I get out of my latest class, so I didn't worry about bringing a clear visor. Well when I got out, it was raining. AWSOME!!... yea, i'm kidding. I was wearing only a jacket and jeans and gloves. Not any real rain gear. I was wondering...hmm, have my visor down and not be able to see with water and dark, or have visor open and get rain in my eyes. I opted for the open, it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I was very slow gettting home, took my time, and made it safely. I was a little wet and a little cold, but me and the bike made it home in one piece. Before anyone says anything, yes, I learned a lesson.

I couldnt tell you the number of times Ive gotten caught in the rain, most times without gear, and usually coming home from work, when it was nice out all day. I keep my visor wiped down with rainx, or whatever I happen to find of a similar product and the water just flies right off so I can see without getting a face full of rain drops.

you can thank need and duff for that.

yeah, I usually opt for the visor up, and take as many back roads as possible in the rain

[soccersteve]

yea, i went back roads, but a couple of them sucked, lots of bumps and water filled in the tire "divots" (for lack of a better word). but oh well, next time i'll think ahead and check the weather.

It's no fun getting caught in the rain. throw some rain gear under your seat for next time.

I used to watch the Weather channel more than anything else on t.v. when I commuted on the bike ...

I check the weather everymorning and evening, whether I am riding or not. Started as a habit from commuting.

I hate the rain, it sux.
The weekend I took the MSF course it was freakin' hot and pured for 2 days. (good to learn in though, mind you)

i find it simple really, if i take my rain gear with me it doesn't rain, if i forget to grab it-i'm gettin rained on.

[Crackshot]
