I take a slightly different approach. If I listened to the weather forecasts there would be plenty of good riding days that I would miss. Instead I trust my eyes. If it's raining at my front door . . . and I'm heading to work . . . I won't ride. Otherwise I will. I'm not worried about the weather after I arrive at work. I'm not worried about getting wet on the way home, since I can easily change to dry clothes once I get there.
Using this philosophy, I have ridden many more days than my fair weather friends, and usually, despite the forecast, I stay dry. Most of the time the threatened bad weather either doesn't materialize. If it does rain, usually it's outside the narrow window in which I will be commuting. Either it's over and done with before I ever leave work, or it waits until I'm home to let loose.
Some days, however, I get wet.
I HATE riding in the rain, but have done it many times. My biggest frustration is no wiper blades on my faceshield. LOL. I don't trust the weathermen either. I check the weather radar each morning prior to riding.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like riding in the rain either. But more often than not, I'm dry even on days with rain in the forecast.
