I don't think the temperature ever exceeded 50F degrees, either. Only the wind kept me on the road. To stay dry on a wet day like this requires special measures. You can see the obvious rain jacket and waterproof gloves, but what you can't see are the shoe covers, rain suit under the jacket and sweats, and all the plastic bags inside my panniers keeping my spare clothes and other equipment dry. As it turns out, not everything was effective.
Water still seeps in the panniers, causing condensation in the inside of the plastic bags.
And the gloves keep the water out, but after 11 hours, the sweat and condensation on the inside had caused my fingers to turn into prunes. I think I enjoyed my hot shower after today's ride more than any other day so far this trip. The best news, though, is that tomorrow's weather looks like it'll be just like today - scattered showers, high about 50, strong northwest wind. Cold and wet don't mix. Oh, also today I passed my estimated halfway point.
