Swam to work today.

OK... so I actually biked in this morning but it felt a bit like swimming. I had fun though. Once I was off the roads and away from traffic, the ride was peaceful and the rain felt really good. My bike fenders kept me from getting soaked from tire spray and it was nice and warm, so the rain just kept me cool and made the ride that much more interesting.

The one thing I don't like about riding in the rain, is the bike work I have to do when I get home. I have to spray down the chain and medal parts (so that they don't rust up on me) and clean any gravel or muck off the bike so it doesn't dry on.

Oh... and it cost me $0.00 in gas to get to work today. ;-)

Cool that you ride in the rain too! I'm putting more hours in at the shop and need some rain pants to match the jacket. I only have a 2 mile commute so I wear work clothes on the bike.
