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've made trips from NJ to the Pittsburgh area and back a few times in moderate to heavy rain. In light to moderate, I don't even bother with my rain gear, I just need to cover my face. In heavy rain, my full face helmet and Wal-Mart rain suit do very well to keep me dry. Keeping the speed up is key, when you hit traffic, the rain hits you from head to foot. Rutted roads and lanes next to Jersey barriers are at the top of my Avoid list since the accumulated water is prime hydroplaning territory.
