and a wet bike ride it was

i went to john's tonight. rode my bike there. when i began to leave, i noticed it was raining. my bike was outside and wet already. but the seat was tucked into a pine tree as the bike leaned on it. much to my happiness, the seat was not wet. wet seats? yeah. there the worst. i rode off, the rain picking up at about highway 2. it was definately no downpour, just a nice shower.

two important things to remember. first, always keep a plastic bag with you when you ride. it will keep your cell phone, wallet, and any important doccuments dry. second, dry the bike off after riding. leaving a bike wet will allow rust and corrosion to set in. parts can rust FAST so drying is essential.

it's been a while since i was out riding in the rain. i enjoy it. cheers . . ..
