I took my time, especially on corners....and luckily had a waterproof jacket and booties on....so I was fairly dry and comfy. The experience was actually relaxing and refreshing, almost zenlike.
If I did not have my fenders, I know I would have been a miserable wet mess.
and the person behind you too. I always thought fenders were a requirement in civilization. Out where I live now they are optional… but I do bike in town regularly so I keep them on.
Remember: “No front fender = I H8 myself, no rear fender means I H8 everyone including myself”!🤣
