So I got caught yesterday in the rain. Not a huge down pour but steady 
and light for maybe 25 miles. I never cleaned the bike really but was 
thinking, should I re-lube the chain? I went out today road 49 miles 
never gave it thought about yesterday. Bike road ok I just wonder how 
important it really is? My lube of choice is box store 3 in 1 oil rated 
for 1/4 HP applications. Used if for the past 17 years

I have been refinishing my kitchen cabinets no time to do routine bike 
maintenance but I manage a ride in.
