Rain - Winona, MN


A low pressure system hovered overhead as we left Winona, MN and crossed into western WI on our way to Viroqua. It rained periodically throughout the day, and then again the next day on our way to Madison, WI. Thanks to waterproof panniers, a plastic garage bag covering my sleeping bag and tent, front pannier covers (yellow), an Arc'teryx rain suit and helmet rain bonnet, I stayed fairly dry, except for my cycling shoes. I brought waterproof rain covers for my cycling shoes, but they weren't very effective. My feet got wet regardless of whether I wore the rain covers or not. Ultimately, I chose just not to wear them, and to dry my shoes by directing a fan on them overnight.
