I left the office on Tuesday, no sign of rain, when I came out from the changing room it was raining so hard that most sensible people would take cover. But I had to pedal through the rain to collect my son from school. Despite what I thought was good quality water proofing I still was soaking wet within 5 minutes or so..so basically I couldn't get more wet and thought never mind. It continued for the entire 25 minute ride. Any ride after that one will be better!
