I guess I need to put the bike on the stand and clean it anyways after getting drenched, but it's still obnoxious. I'm sure when I get to fixing it I'll be wishing I had a waxed chain like

Back in the days when I was doing a century every Sunday, the rear tire did the ride just fine and the following Sunday it was flat. Pumped it up and rode the century. Flat a week later. This went on for a number of weeks,
before I finally fixed it.
How many years since I last rode a century? 4, maybe
