Like riding through a salt flavored Icee

After the ice/snow/rain/sleet mix we got yesterday, i thought id be set when i hopped on my bike and headed out the door without rain pants on .  Totally wrong, i got completely soaked riding through 3 inch deep slush.  But i did learn a good lesson, that maybe i knew already, it doesn't have to be raining to get wet.  I also realized that its time to put some fenders on my mountain bike, as its the best bike for icy snowy conditions.  So as i let my gear drip dry here at the shop, i can only hope the roads freeze up before i head home at 8.  

So if you are heading out today for a ride don't forget the fenders and rain pants.

Thanks
