I will probably start looking at rain gear. Not that I want to ride in the rain, but when I retire and move I'll want it in the bags just in case I get caught in the rain.

We have enuf good weather that we don't need to go out in the rain. If you get caught in it while out, its no big deal, but I'm not purposely going out in it.

I'm in So Cal too, I live right under where we had the big Station Fire so we're all on mudslide alert here. It's raining harder today than ever so I did ride this morning. Just a few times around the block to test out how well I did wiring my bike, or more so, how well I did protecting those wires from the elements, LOL! It ran fine . . .

Guess for at least this weekend, the 35 degrees but dry weather in NY beats what you've got in SoCal!

On days like this I wash (outside) and detail (in the garage) my bike. If it weren't for days like today I'd have to take perfectly good riding time out of a nice sunny warm day to do it.

Rain washed out the show. At least for my group. This is our third straight day of rain in SoCal, with at least three or four more days of rain on the way.

No, I don't have rain gear. I live in Southern California and I don't need it. We'll see if I buy rain gear when I retire and move out of California.

Cry me a F***ing river. Three days of rain what will you guys do. Its been raining here for the last two months/.
