so it held up pretty well. I have a 2019 Giant Escape City Disc bicycle (https://tinyurl.com/y726lt73). The disc brakes and preinstalled fenders were lifesavers in the terrible constant downpour on Sunday. The tires I used were pretty much brand new Gatorskin tires that I had to install the day before because the Marathon tires I bought previously had a defect in them according to an inspection I had the fine folks at my local bike shop do the day before the event. I was disappointed because I prefer the treading in the Marathon tires compared to how slick the Gatorskin tires are, but I can't be too mad at the Gatorskins since they help up so well for me on Sunday. It was complete luck that I happened to have the Gatorskins as I intended to use them on the old bicycle I had and they were pretty much laying around.

The main thing is that I have to clean the chains since I notice a little bit of rust building up. I'll take care of that this weekend since it appears the rain will finally stop then.

If you're curious why I have such a new bike, I mentioned in a prior thread that the frame in my prior bike cracked on me about a month or so ago.
