Rain, I like it.........

[GuyBoden]

I've got to admit, I quite like riding in the rain, it cools me down and seems to lubricate everything, even me.........

I was up your way today and it seemed you certainly got your wish today.

I've always found water's unusual properties fascinating, because it can be ice, liquid and gas, I think we're taking water for granted, when actually it's a marvellous substance that keeps us alive. I think we're made of about 65% water, especially when I was out on the bike today.

Hoping for more rain.............

I can see you've led a sheltered life.

If you're really interested, I thought this was quite a good read.

Did you know that ice can exist in twelve different forms?

I don't mind cycling in the rain once I'm out in it - however getting out the house and onto the bike takes mental strength.

I have pretty good weather gear so I generally keep pretty dry even on the worst of days.

I think that's the key, having good waterproofs that is.

Warrington is on the wrong side of the Pennines, so with respect to the wet stuff, the choices are:
1. like it
2. lump it

nah, dont like the rain especially this time of year you can get cold too easily
don't mind the dark though, quite enjoy those short runs

I can't believe that they're forecasting some sunshine for Saturday, but hopefully more rain on Sunday.......

The problem with rain is not so much riding in it, but cleaning and re-lubing the bike afterwards.

Don't bother, lather it in ACF50 and even the worst of winter, rain, salt and road crud won't touch it. Lubricates too, marvellous stuff

My cycing commuting buddy won't be there tomorrow,on my commute if it rains.

Won't deliberatley set out in the rain but if caught in it actually quite enjoy it.
Only downside is specs don't have wipers .

Thanks, that ACF50 aircraft industry anti-corrosion lube looks interesting........
