Hey, easy, this is the point I was REALLY trying to make, then I went on to (I hope!) give a newbie a bit of confidence that with care there is nothing to be really afraid of, riding in the rain.
I agree it's not FUN. This morning I rode to a friend's house, about 10 miles away. About 5 minutes away from him I ran through a rain storm (and this is nearly June!) I'd just got a sleeveless jacket on, & you could've wrung me out when I arrived. Still, one cup of strong tea later, and I was fit as a fiddle & I didn't shrink.
