Yup, the temps are above normal, and tomorrow is supposed to hit 60 F here in DC, so I figured no big deal riding in the rain today. . .

Well, I made it to work safely, but it had been awhile since I'd ridden in the rain in the dark. . .so I reminded myself of the basic rain rule: no sudden moves.

But, it still is so much fun riding the Rocket, even in crappy conditions, and tomorrow I get to run a 175 mile round-trip in ideal conditions, so honing my rain riding skills today is a small price to pay for enjoying the unusually warm January tomorrow.

btw: since I only have a one-car garage, it's sort of a drill to switch the bike and car, and so when I do the switch, I like to make it for at least a couple of days. . .

ride on
