| I think that practising riding in the wet is essential, it gives you much more feel for the bike, it makes you much smoother, and while you might not get the andrenalin buzz of howling round corners with your knee on the deck there is a certain satisfaction in the challenge of riding as quickly as possible.
I think that wet weather riding and CSS skills are entirely complementary, just try it...you may like it |
