Got good and soaked this a.m. compliments of weather people that forecast that the so-called fast mover was gonna drop rain *after* a certain period, but instead, mother nature determined that an earlier start time was more appropriate.  Argh.

Riding in the rain wasn't that bad, but the squish, squish, squish that I was left with in the form of soaked soaks and shoes wasn't much fun.

On the plus side, I now have extra socks at my desk at work for the next time I find myself caught in a downpour, along with a new pair of shoes that will also function in an emergency if needed.

Sheesh, it had been a lot of years since I last rode any significant distance in the rain.  (I used to ride pretty much full time back in the late 80's, but got away from it over time)

I really don't mind riding in the rain, though I must admit having feet that are sitting in their own pools of water is no fun.  Weather proof footwear is gonna be on my shopping list soon.

Remember that the term "waterproof" usually means that, once the water has gotten in, it can't get back out.
