Rain??? It's 28*F here. It wouldn't be raining if there was moisture in the air where I'm at.

fun to see here in the summer after a long, hot perioid with no rain when a shower suddenly homes and the earth can`t absorb it so quickly, you can see yellow streams of pollen in the gutters.

I love the rain, to a point. Mostly because it beats the pollen down and I can breath more easily (allergic). Here`s hoping most of the next summer`s rains came this year too, crappy summer altogether...

A little drizzle won`t bother me, even a proper shower doesn`t get through my gear too easily (bought that in mind), it`s just I fear riding in the rain, have zero cofidence in the tires fearing I wipe out even though I have a brand new front tire and the rear`s still in good condish...
