Nah man, i know exactly what you mean. Not nice to be in it all day but I love it when it rains just before i'm about to ride home from work, and it's heavy as fuck - I must look insane to other people but I actually really enjoy it and it puts a big grin on my face. Not only is it very refreshing, but it's pretty funny. You're passing all these people in their enclosed, soft-interiored drywagons with comfy seats and warmed air, and watching people RUN with umbrellas. What the fuck are they running from? They seeem so scared of a little bit of water, while you're having a good time letting nature moisten you and it actually does feel quite nice and you wonder why they're so afraid of getting wet.
Skin is the ultimate breathable, waterproof base layer, no need for waterproofs! Could have done with the waterproof jacket on the ride from Leuven back to Overijse though, just to keep me warm...
