Wet Weather Riding

Sunday's forecast said a 10% chance of rain. To a cyclist this means a 90% chance of getting wet and coated with road grime. As it had been four days since I was on the bike I was headed out at 1:00 come hell or high water. It turned out to be neither. Karl and I got rained on a bit, but mostly were just riding through puddles for a couple hours. He hit some of the rollers pretty hard, and I kept pace with him mostly once I was warmed up. I added on a climb up Perfumo after he headed home. It was painfully slow, but I'm fit enough that I persevered to the top. The descent was a bit dodgy with both water and mud on the road.
