I just finished checking the weather in each town in Canada and Alaska I will be in on the day that I will be there, and it looks like rain all the way!! Every motorcycle trip that I have gone on it has rained most of the time. I am getting used to it. The first couple of times I road in the rain I had the idea that it was pretty much like riding on snow. That my bike was going to slip and spin and go out from under me at the smallest wrong wiggle, so I rode with fear and trembling which is quite exhausting after awhile. I am getting more confident in my motorcycle tires to hold the road even if wet, even sometimes very, very wet. My prayer life goes up a lot while riding in the rain. Praying that God will send some big angels to guard me and protect me from a wreck. My riding suit is waterproof and even in a very hard rain I stay pretty dry. About the only place I get wet is right at the top of my coat. The worst part of the rain is setting up camp in the rain. Everything in my dry bags gets wet as I drag it out, set up my tent, get my pad and sleeping bag into the tent and attempt to cook on my little stove. Most of the places that I camp have washers and dryers so I spend some quarters drying everything out the next morning. Works.
