Rain, Rain, Rain


Well, it has been a wet holiday season, particularly for cycling. Most Southern Californian riders never appreciate how good we have it in comparison to most of the rest of the country. The last two weeks have been a bit of a challenge for most of us though. Gloom, regular rain and steady showers have dominated this holiday season.

Rain just makes riding more of a hassle. Your bike is thrashed, it needs to be cleaned and readjusted after nearly every ride. After a few days though, most regular riders just push through and take their bike out anyway. If so, be extra careful because of hydroplaning and braking distance. Also, visibility is often limited.

Ride safely!
