Keeping myself away from the rain

Finding the right moment to get out for a bicycle ride in this season is like betting. According to the spartan weather forecasts coming from all the available on-line meteorological services, this month is going to be very wet. But forecasts don't say it all. Accuracy is not their best feature.

Sometimes, it's a matter of few kilometres. In a valley you're dry, in the next one you'd get a shower.

Beside your own weigh, you have to account for some extra for a wind jacket and a helmet cap. And as you climb the steep roads of a mount, your sight stretches farther and farther, till you can spot the wall of water coming down from a single cloud, right in the valley you opted not to go.
