First proper wet ride today, a very quick 9 miles out to Bulphan and looped back as I was soaking. I only went out in my lycra gear and a cotton tee underneath. 2 notes: 1 my saddle-toolbag isn't waterproof at all; 2. put your BlackBerry in a ZipLock bag next time Toby.
The road bike was OK in the wet. Lots of spray off the wheels and the front was a bit skittish round some of the bends. Amazed at how much faster you want to go when you are dripping wet, I even took a tractor towing a trailer or hay at one point by putting it in top gear and grinding up to 25mph on a rough road. Was pretty cool, but needed some peddling to keep ahead afterwards.
