The Original 7834 Raleigh/Durham | Subject: RE: Racing in the rain, R.E. racking the bike I wouldn't cover my bike- but then again I don't know if there's a practical reason to do it (keep certain components dry). |

Extreme Veteran 328 Texas | Subject: RE: Racing in the rain, R.E. racking the bike If it's raining during the race nothing on your bike will stay dry anyhow so don't take the time to cover it. However like you mentioned cover your running shoes and don't forget to bring an extra pair of socks for the run (the few seconds it will take to change your socks might be the difference between blistered feet or not). Good luck and hope it doesn't rain! |

I never could figure out the reasoning behind athletes covering their bike seats with plastic bags if there is a threat of rain... |

I see bikes locked up around the city like this all the time but that's a different issue. it didn't rain by the way, which was sweet. |
