Have fun getting hypothermia. Hating to stop to put rain pants on or the challenge of peeing tells me you ain't never did much riding in such adverse conditions like when it is raining and cold, you won't be drinking much and you will thank your lucky stars to have rain pants in your bag. You have a bag to carry foul weather gear?
