If anything it will be one hell of a learning experence. Here in Wisconsin I've been caught in the snow acouple of times, hail once or twice. One time when I was on a ride with my family (for my fathers B-day) we got caught up in a sleet strom that was so bad that I couldn't see more then 15ft infront of me. Of course I didn't have my helmet on, or any gear for that matter. That really sucked. I've got more if you want to hear more.

Eh, my head hurts from imagining hail hitting me in the dome while riding. Maybe save it for the late 400's, then next time things slow down.

You said you had plenty more horror stories from riding through the elements. I was saying to space them out, rather than bombard with the horror all at once.

Some like a tail stickin way out in-your-face. Kind that'll keep you dry when it's wet out.. .. or is it shady in the summer and warm in the winter? I'm confused now.
