One Determined Rider

Yesterday while returning from a vacation driving east on I70 in the middle of Kansas in a pouring almost blinding rain storm that went on for over 50 miles I was passed by a wing and trailer. When I saw him coming in my mirror I thought now that takes guts in this rain and wind! I'll ride in rain but not that kind of storm and have no love for rain of any kind anyway when riding.
but now the best part, when he rode past me I looked over and sure enough he had a Forum Patch on his sleeve. I never caught up to him or saw where he stopped ,I sure would have had to say hi! One very determined rider. MY hats off to him

I have found that in the rain, if I can maintain 60 to 65 MPH, I stay drier and water shed better / faster. The slower I go the wetter I get.

I do run Darkside so I do think that makes a difference in giving me the courage to do so. The only time I pull over is when there is a lot of traffic and traffic starts backing up, then I just pull over and let the traffic clear.
