Today was great. No rain, tail wind, only one vehicle blocked my path. Funny how drivers can totally block an intersection at the same time render a cyclist invisible in their minds as they hide in their 360 degree buble of glass, "...crap, if I don't look at or react to cyclist they will not bother me...lalalalalala..." as I manouever between cars glaring at the offender. There may be thundershowers later this afternoon right on time for commute home though as a cold front moves in.

Yesterday was insane. Horrible rain. Wind started kicking up in the evening too. Drivers were going crazy and trying to run over people in crosswalks (!!). I saved one poor ped by yelling bloody murder at the driver until she finally stopped. On driver's side visibility was terrible, lights were reflecting everywhere. I rode very conservatively. A good portion of my ride was 6" underwater with water flowing over the curbs and onto the sidewalk where I chose to ride for a bit - it was so deep and there was so much debris riding in the water was not an option and the sidewalk was pretty much unbroken by cross-traffic. Got home and my DH said, "You look terrible!" as I stood in garage with water streaming off of me. I was warm however! Everything dried but for jacket which I had accidentally left in garage (thanks to "extra" just-in-case jacket I rode dry today). Forgot to dry chain so there was some rust this morning which I'll have to clean and scrub off tonight.
