last nights ride
i got new rubber on the bike last week, and i have been taking it around the town on short trips.
i also bought a new jacket, and havnt tested it in every scenerio.
last night i decided to go to the kavabar for an hour in the rain. it was a light rain, and i had a new riding jacket that wasnt "water proof" but i wasnt sure how permeable it was.
its about 7 miles one way, the rain was a light drizzle, and the jacket held up fine all the way through the light drizzle up to the heavy rain that i managed to find half way there.
heavy rain for about 4 miles soaked through my pants, and also got through the jackets breath panels.
my torso was dryer than my legs by far, so i guess the jacket gets ok marks as not water proof, but not terrible either.
once i got to the kavabar it poured the entire time i was there, my bike has a fabric panel on the seat. i had to put a plastic bag down to ride home.
the ride home was drama free, and i didnt even feel the need for a hot shower upon arrival.
72, and rainy. coulda been worse i suppose. not a bad after-work wind down.
