Things I've learnt from commuting

quick question: i rode yesterday and got drenched. what do you do with your wet kit?

Ride it home again or take spare kit?

The aircon in my office is always on, and that does a pretty good job of drying out the kit by the afternoon. Sometimes doesn't dry it completely, then wet kit it is. The wet kit is only uncomfortable for the first couple of minutes.  A couple of kms into the ride it makes little difference.

Here you go.

Then hang it up somewhere and it should be just about completely dry by home time.

I find mine dries quickly at work although it is a climate controlled environment.

 

As long as you hang it in an area which has plenty of air circulation it seems to dry pretty quickly.

 

We also have a gym and heated locker rooms so that helps. Sorry, boasting a bit there

Not pretty, but it works! Thankfully no one at work complains and this desk is now officially a wet gear area.

[Belgarath]

I Thank you!

 

Is it cheating if I only rode one way today? I'll be getting a lift home due to an appointment with large amounts of beer.

 

It feels like cheating...

Beer doesn't care. Beer is always waiting for you to return home...

Rain was pretty constant this morning. Certainly not light.

 

I developed a cold, started Friday afternoon so no riding for me this morning.

 

I do enjoy the rain so a I'm little upset at whatever germ laden bastard gave me this virus.
