Ride in the rain?

[blacksheep]

lived in england, ride in whatever

The rain dosn't bother me, nice clean roads. When it's dry and then a light shower I get a bit wary.

same as gremlin...ride in the rain, or stay home here...no car or license.
only time id let that change is if i was planning on riding out of town. done it once and froze...my boots were half filled with water.
in saying that though...even then it wouldnt stop me. if ive planned to go to wellington and it rains, tough. im going anyway, provided theres a hot shower!

if im out and it starts, theres not much i can do really. not gonna waste time waiting on the side of the road, so will ride in whatever i come across.

Prior to starting a new job recently I was commuting into Welly 5/7 on the murdercycle. Only missed two days in three years due to weather. Would rather be out in the dry but modern riding gear means keeping dry is a real possibility. Have to say that some of the most valuable riding experience I have ever had was during a rainstorm at a Manfield track-day couple of years ago. I would definitely do it again.

Wooooaaaa it's cold.... and coming down real thick here in Rangiora. For the 32 thats said they would ride in the snow - you better head down South for that!!

If anyone is on a bike today.... stay safe, and stay warm!!

I find riding in the rain very relaxing on long straight roads. As long as your gear is waterproof and warm it's all good.

Tight twisties on the other hand are not as much fun...

Its pouring down with rain here and its my day off. I'm about to put on my gear incl the wet weather gear and go riding through a few back roads. I think Id prefer some snow than the rain, be a good test for some of my riding gear re: warmth.

Just went down to woolworths in rangiora, I was going to take the bike out in the now, and get the wife to take a picture, but on second thoughts that is NOT going to happen...
Have a good relaxing one people.

If I didn't want to ride in the rain, I'd lose my job.. just glad it doesn't snow in Hamilton.. 7 - 9 hours of that a day would be a bit much..

Snow like today however means plenty of slush on the roads. I will, and have done plenty of times before, ride in the snow, but today even I took the 4x4 to work.

Rain = wet socks and I just hate wet socks

So I try to avoid the rain, plus it makes me bike all filthy

There is 4" of snow outside as we speak,(more forcast for tonight) the grand kids have had their bikes out but mine is staying in the shed just now. No need to take it out.
I will ride in any conditions if I have a reason to be out there.
Sometimes even without a reason is good enough reason, just do it.
We have been towing the kids around the old school grounds on a sledge behind our little 4x4 dump truck.
Snow can be fun but the fun wears off if it hangs around too long. Cheers John.
