My first commute in the rain today! It's the first time it's been cool around here for weeks, so the ride felt practically effortless. I'm looking forward to this evening's commute, which will be drier and still relatively cool.

An observation... Despite the fact that I had to ride a full foot or more to the left of my usual riding line (to avoid puddles and wet, slippery metal grates), cars did not pull to the left any further than usual when passing. 10-25% of the passing cars left me only 1'-2' clearance, which seems a bit close to me. I think they all see me; they just choose to pass too close.

Forgot to bring an extra pair of shoes. Oops! *slosh* *slosh*
