Riding in Milwaukee Rain

  Just because it's raining doesn't mean it's unpleasant to be out riding.  You just have to dress for the occasion.

Today I wore my REI Taku rain pants and jacket with some cross country ski gators from Mountain Hardware, and my Gore-Tex lined Merrell Chameleon shoes.  The shoes are my every day pair, and the gators and pants I got on end of the season clearance at REI a few years ago.  Also notice the full fenders on the bike and a 700 lumen NiteRider headlight for coming home after dark tonight.

Also remember that Milwaukee Public Transit has bike racks on the buses so you can always right part way to the bus stop and take the bus the rest of the way.

Don't forget about my Winter Cycling Clinic coming up next week Tuesday Dec. 6th at Wheel & Sprocket's Brookfield store.  This is your chance to meet other winter riders, talk about different techniques and styles of riding.  And most importantly come enjoy the free drink and discounts on P&A for attendees.
