You can ride in the wet, just be aware of what your rear tire is doing and adjust accordingly. I didn't post that to scare you or anything, I promise. I just wanted to make you aware. If the pavement is just kinda damp, there will be no big deal. If there is standing water, then expect your traction to be less than what the tire is rated for, because there is an "extra" water channel.
