Got rained on today. A first for me on the Spyder. All other experience in the rain was in my BRC. Rained on early on in my ryde. Rode out of it and pretty much dried out completely. Rained on again close to the end of my ryde. Arrived home a bit soggy. Everything is drying out.
I was impressed with how the Spyder handled. No problems whatsoever. I even think the brakes were not affected. Though I don't make a practice of racing into stops.
After this, I think I will be more willing to go out even if the forecast is iffy. Didn't get to try out my new raingear primarily because it was still lying on a bed at home. Don't think I would have stopped to put it on anyway. One minute is was sunny. Next minute I was soaked. I don't think I would have enjoyed the sauna under the raingear if I had put it on with me soaked underneath.
All in all, a good day and a good ryde. Hope everyone is enjoying the 4th of July!!!
