2. Do you find that rain ruins or improves your day? It depends on what I have planned.

Interesting that you asked this question yesterday. This morning I did an MS 150 training ride...the last 7 in the rain (at times cold and driving rain). It was awful and definitely did not improve my day, lol.

I guess maybe there's one up side; the rain took my mind off the fact that my thighs were burning after 37 miles of riding hills. (Yeah, and that's kind of like someone stomping on your foot to help your headache "go away".)
