As long as I've cleaned & lubed my chain recently, I actually quite like riding home in the rain. So yesterday afternoon wasn't the end of the world, especially considering I could have just waited another 15 minutes and missed the whole thing, instead of leaving early to get rained on the entire time. Oh well. Just like you've got to expect more bikers to start showing up this time of year, you also better get used to the idea of getting wet every now and then.

I was even getting my hopes up for more rain today, but it seems to have cleared up to the point where it's not likely. Too bad. I like when it rains because I stay on the bike path versus cutting through the neighborhood, and with less people out I can open it up and just go. Even in shit conditions, wind, rain, cold, being able to just bike is one of the purest forms of fun you can have and it's a lot easier to do when you're not going around busses or trying to obey the street signs. The worse the weather, the better the ride.
