I've been avoiding riding in the rain and I've only had to ride once or twice in a drizzle. Well all that changed yesterday. Weather.com officially screwed me and I had to ride about 40 minutes in downpour. Getting wet or not having put rain-x on my helmet was the least of my problems...
Visibility was incredibly poor (really those headlights suck) AND i found out why riders really hate t-snakes (tar snakes) & paint on the pavement... I mean going over one of those especially fat and yellow arrows felt like I was riding on ice!!!
SO! I have learned a couple lessons:
- I think I will always clean my helmet and wipe the face plate with rain-x wipes.
- If there's a slight chance of rain, I am bringing a backpack with rain gear and some shiny strips.
- The headlights will ABSOLUTELY need to be upgraded to something brighter
- I will continue to avoid riding in the rain :surrender: lol
