As many of our first year fox run attendees know, it rained like hell from Friday afternoon till tuesday that next week. That didn’t stop us, from having the best weekend of our lives. #thefoxrun3 will be rain or shine. ___________________ If riding in the rain is a deterrent, You can come in your car too or get some rain gear and just ride safe and slow! Spring rain rides are some of the most magical, heart opening rides and really challenges you to becoming a well rounded rider. Here is a quick list on safe riding in the rain, although we are praying for sunshine, it’s always nice to be prepared physically, emotionally and mentally. ______________________ 📝Choose the right gear A good waterproof rainsuit (two-piece or one), gloves, boots, and perhaps an electric vest, can keep even the most persistent storm from soaking you, which is the first key to enjoying a day spent in the rain. 📝Ride smoother and smarter Throttle adjustments need to be made smoothly and in small increments; use less lean angle; gradually apply your brakes and get your braking done early, so that in the last bit of the braking zone you are not forced to stab the brake lever. 📝Be wary of intersections Any place in the road where cars come to a stop will have a higher concentration of the slick stuff. The rain makes it worse. It's best to decrease your speed when approaching intersections. 📝Some other items we always carry with us are ziplock bags for cellphones, grocery bags to wrap around your feet if your boots tend to leak and a bubble shield. If you have a shield, a bandana is the next best thing. Always bring extra socks and a change of clothes in a water proof bag! here are some more very helpful links for riding in in-climate weather 1.https://www.sportrider.com/five-tips-for-riding-motorcycle-in-rain-0 2.https://blog.jafrum.com/2013/04/08/15-tips-for-riding-a-motorcycle-in-the-rain/ 3.https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/riding-in-the-rain-what-you-can-learn-from-nicky-hayden and if you have 10 mins to spare watch this funny video with this dude rambling about riding in the rain 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦 #thefoxrun #tfr2018 #ridingintherain #motorcycles photos by @tifanitruelove
