Unless you got a snow bike you shouldn't be biking in the rain because it damages the bike.

Once I get good enough (100 miles, right now I'm 40) I plan to join a distance biking group. I hate races on a bike because I don't trust my bike/road/God to not screw me over on the road, so I leisurely bike a long distance instead. If I was a runner I would join races, however.
