[Closed] 3 Hours riding in the rain

But dud you shrink?

You forgot the 1 hour or more cleaning and drying the bike and then ordering up replacement drivetrain bits. 😉

Can't see how it can be perfect when "3 hours riding in the sun... then a beer" would be better

I’d rather ride in the sun too tbh.
But, if forced, id rather have a cuppa after it.

I dunno.

All the sunny rides just merge into one happy memory*

The truly epic, otter's pocket death marches are unique in their different flavours of awfulness.
Builds character and makes for better fireside tales.

*Apart from the local Calderdale one with the hayfever, sunstroke, dehydration and post midnight lift home from the exhibitionist couple.

Type 2 fun - I agree: it can be great.

Just to clarify I'd much rather ride in the dry but we started as a group and no-one wanted to stop. It was warm still anyway. Like riding in a rainforest.

Were there poisonous tree frogs? If not then it was hardly like riding in a rain forest. Can't have a rain forest ride without poisonous tree frogs, it's as simple as sunny beer rides being more perfecter than soggy tea rides.

midnight lift home from the exhibitionist couple.

When I realise what a sheltered life I lead.

But back to the OP, I don’t mind getting wet but wouldn’t set out in the rain.

I am sure bikes go faster in the rain although I have never tested this

I’m sure I pedal mine faster to get out of the rain 😀

This morning's ride had sun, sun & wind, wind & cloud, wind & rain, rain & horizontal rain, wind, sun & rain and sun to finish.

It was totes ace. I was riding bikes.
