Checked the rain radar before I left. Started out dry in a long sleeve tee, felt the first spots of rain, pulled over and put on a waterproof, rode the rest of the way keeping dry and comfortable.
The remarkable bit? I truly believe that is the first time I have ever got that manoeuvre right. I always manage either waterproof on too soon and boil in the bag or wait too long before stopping and end up like a drowned rat...
