Riding in the Rain for the First Time

On Thanksgiving day I had to brave the rain to get back to Corvallis. I finally got around to getting the photos off of my camera of my outfit. Since these photos were taken I got a proper set of waterproof riding gear. At the time though I was wearing jeans, a pair of cheap rain pants, a pair of plastic rain bibs, a fleece jacket, a leather jacket, a cheap raincoat, and a plastic jacket. For shoes I had a pair of rubber farm boots. While I was quite warm and very visible, I also looked a little funny going down the road.

The bright reflective vest is courtesy of a company I used to work for. The yellow plastic rain gear is from the farm as are the rubber boots. I used to harvest Christmas trees in that very pair of plastics.

I was warm and happy but a little soggy.
