I just wanted to add a warning here about riding in the rain even in the summer can be very dangerous. The only time I have had severe hypothermia was summer riding and I got caught in a rain storm. About a 45 mile ride on I-5 in a down pour. I literally fell off my bike when I got it parked. I got some cup a soup and took a hot bath, I was so cold the water went cold in about 5 min. I had to add hot water 2 or 3 times before I got core temp back up!

Be safe!
