Worst bit (for soggyness) will probably be the carpark, and that's puddles you can easily avoid.
Sticking with the 700c bike though as it has water guards, full at rear, crud catcher at front. was considering the 1992 palisades but i would cry, real tears if any muddy water splashed on it.
Don't forget the 6 foot barrier on the carpark entrance if in any vehicle much taller than a caddy van. plenty of roadside parking juxtapose with carpark anyway. All is good.
Thinking about it, i better get in the cave and sort the bike out, not seen it in months. Sort out the camera too.
