No day when it's really pouring is much fun, but my worst ride ever was with Pterodactyl from Braidwood in NSW to the coast when we encountered fog. Visibility was dreadful, cars were tailgating us down the winding hill, and my visor slowly but surely misted over so visibility got worse and worse to the point where I could see almost nothing. Plus, I didn't think it worthwhile to stop and put on my wets, so I was thoroughly soaked by the time we reached the bottom of the hill.
Fog or mist is particularly nasty because the reduced visibility means you can't ride fast enough to blow the tiny water droplets of the visor.
As I recall, it was sunny on the coast and, by later in the afternoon, I was probably complaining about the heat.
