Raining cats and dogs

Posted November 15th, 2007 by mike

I woke up and my worst commuting fear has come true.  It was raining.  I went about my morning like normal and it came to that critical time to get ready to leave.  I went ahead, suited up with all my gear and went out on the bike.  Of course, as soon as I started pedaling the heavens opened up and it was a downright downpour.  It was actually a nice ride in despite the rain.  I am really happy with all of my gear.  Everything that is water proof kept the water out.  Something that wasn’t waterproof?  My shoes and socks.

Even though I stayed dry during the ride, I still have a chill running through my bones.  I am not really looking forward to ride home for lunch.  I don’t know if I will or not yet.  Its still raining pretty hard as I write this and I am having a hard time wanting to put my gear back on and head back out there..  I think I might skip the ride and do some trainer work tonight.  Damn my weak mind not making me ride in the rain..
