1st Wet Ride of Spring
It was going to happen sooner or later. This morning was my 1st spring time ride in the rain. I rode the bike to work last night and well, this morning, five minutes before leaving work, the sky just opened up. I loaded the saddle bags, went inside, shut the door and turned around and it was pouring. I stayed pretty dry with the rain suit on, but the roads were lots 'o wet. The Avon Super Venom tires really suck in the rain. I had to keep the bike mostly vertical in all the curves otherwise I could feel the bike slide slightly. Not a good feeling.
