Yea, I have kinda a "no mans zone" that I don't ride in. A cool rain (down to about low 50's) is tolerable. And mountain biking in the snow is fun. But that in between, where it is almost cold enough to snow but just rains. Well that just plain sucks.

I wouldn't ride in the rain if it's under 50, hypothermia is too much of a concern if I'd bonk. Above that - rain jacket with temp. appropriate clothing under, sports cream covered by Vaseline on the shaved legs.

I use just regular tights if it is a cool rain ... and either nylon booties if it is fairly warm, or neoprene booties if it is cold.
