Comments on: Heavy mist http://www.apertome.com/blog/2008/04/04/heavy-mist/ Cycling, hiking, camping, etc -- now back in southern Indiana. Words and photos.

I'd be running through the mist, down a trail and through some woods, not really noticing how much the mist was building up, confusing sweat and dew on my body. Soon enough, I was getting soaked through, but it felt good against the skin as I would continue. By the time I was done, I should have been drenched in sweat, but instead I felt good as the cool water ran down my skin. It almost makes me want to get out there again, bad back and all.

I do have a light but not a very powerful one, alas. That does add a nice touch to the image. I sometimes like riding in rain, but usually it's sort of a hassle. When I don't worry so much about the fact that I'm going to get wet, it can be fun, if it's warm enough. I've got fenders already, but I think I'll add some kind of makeshift mudflaps, using a soda or milk bottle, or something. The fenders don't go low enough to keep water from splashing up on my ankles. David: thanks! I do have a light but not a very powerful one, alas. That does add a nice touch to the image.

Combine that with a high powered LED headlight slicing through the mist out front, and that's worthy of a painting. Rain is my favorite weather to ride in. It was with no small amount of disappointment that errands forced me to drive yesterday. As for the mud flaps... yes. Even <a href='http://kc-bike.blogspot.com/2008/03/im-sold.html' rel="nofollow">Noah</a> acquiesced and installed them. I wouldn't go out without them on my commuter. They're almost as crucial as my Edge. That is a phenomenal image… the swirling of mist behind you like the vortices off the wings of planes in high G maneuvers.
