This was somewhere between damned uncomfortable and torturous. And dangerous. I made it just about 90 miles, just one tank of gas, in heavy, unrelenting rain. The new rain gear works fairly well, but the boots are soaked thru, and the helmet leaks. I had to crack it open to keep it from fogging up. I had to slow down to 60 on the interstate, and the big trucks were spraying me every time one went by. The first gas stop was a truck stop with a motel. I got a room. Stripped down and fired up the wall heater to try to dry out the boots and helmet. If the rain doesn't let up, I will be stuck here until it does. I can't continue on.
