The downpour started about 2 miles into my very short, 6 mile commute... surprisingly, I felt great...yes wet, but great! Not at all cold, granted this is Ca, so the temps were ~50 degrees. But really a non issue.

Sensing it might rain, I brought a extra shirt and pants..a quick change and I am set for the workday...

Now, if I can do this commute in the rain (the worst element Ca receives), which I proved to myself this morning, I should be able to keep this up 365 days/year in Ca...no excuses!

Laptop and clothes in the seat bag, phone, keys and repair equipment in the glove box, errr, front rack trunk.

So, one more convert!

I think I attached a picture of my wet bike (first time trying)... fortunately, I can bring the bike right to my cube, where it will sit all day, awaiting the ride home!
