Riding in the rain and what happens!

Caught the rust just in time!
Riding in the rain is never advised.
Sometimes it happens though and you have no choice.
The chain started showing surface rust.
Took some kerosene and removed it.
I thought about this for a little bit.
I decided I better lube all parts I can.
So I cleaned what I could and lubed up the cables and the chain.
Hopefully next time I go for a ride I won't have any unusual noise.

Was this supposed to be a poem?

Nope just a lack of planning on my part.
Got caught in the rain on Saturday.
Should have looked at the radar.
Should have left work sooner. ( had to drop off and pick up stuff)
Just me voicing what a rookie move I made on Saturday is all.
Can't do this with the next bike I get.
Could do more damage than just a rusty chain.

Haiku:

Riding in the rain

Better put on your rain gear

Else you will get wet.

Rain fell on my head
My tires are smooth
If I didn't ride slow
I'd fall and I'd bruise

Had a rear tire event

The bike I'm riding

Has not fenders

Lucky have been I

So far.

Dry off your chain now,

It wants lubrication right?

Give it some oily love.

Summary of Thread:

A rider one dark, rainy morning

Took off without heeding this warning:

"If it's going to rain

Better lube up your chain

Else you'll rust up before it's done pouring."
