Jim Carroll: You're growing up. And rain sort of remains on the branches of a tree that will someday rule the Earth. And it's good that there is rain. It clears the month of your sorry rainbow expressions, and it clears the streets of the silent armies... so we can dance.

On a very hot day a nice rain is a welcome site to cool things down. In 2010 we had a very cool day, and a hard rain most of the day. Not much you can do unless U have someone who will come pick U up but just keep on going. I found staying on the bike and generating some body heat was much better than huddling under a tent soaking wet and shivering. Stopped just long enough to get something hot to eat and kept going. About 30 minuets before arriving at the next overnight town the sun came out. I found my charter location (not always easy) with nice high ground to set up my tent. With hot showers a block away, cold beer in the cooler, life was good once again.
This will be my 14th RAGBRAI. And I never am quite prepared for rain. I try to remember my lt weight jacket but am not always on top of things in the morning. 2 years ago it rained and luckily someone had a spare plastic bag. He told me to put it under my Jersey and it kept the chill out. I looked silly but who cares, I was warm. And yes, keep riding if its not lightening or coming down so hard that you cant see the road.
Fenders are cheap and have a favorable weight to benefit ratio.More water comes up from below then above.The front fender keeps the feet dry.The back fender keeps the panniers drySome use waterproof rain covers for the panniers..Use baby oil to keep legs warm on cold rains
