How about a discussion about foul weather riding? [View all]

Rain gear, fenders, maintenance, eye wear and whatever.

We have been in drouthy conditions since mid or late June. Today I rode in what the Irish would call a soft day. No fenders on the bike and wore a cheap poncho purchased at the RenFair a couple of years ago.
