Ride in the rain

The 2nd day of the camp and it is raining. Quite the downpour. I think we were all debating whether to do the ride. The plan was to do a 100 mi epic ride. I rode down to the cyclery met up with a couple of other people. Atleast now I know I am not the only insane person. We decide to do to skip the 100mi ride and do 1 loop of the course.
Heading out of town by the time we get 10 mi into the ride I am soaked, my shoes are soaked, and so is every other place I can think of. I have to make pitstop because I keep hearing a wires noise from the bike. And the gears keep skipping. I check the regular things and they are fine. We start to head down. And You wonder the sanity of riding 40 mph downhill on wheels of 3cm with a piece of rubber for breaking which 8cm long. Give that some thought. Luckily everyone in the group makes it down fine. We continue to jay and then willmington by the time I pass whiteface the rain stop. So for the final 1/2hr no rain. I get into town and head straight for the hotel. The bike needs a clean so do I and both need to dry off.
