Just returned from a "rain ride". Yet another in our season of heat, humidity, and thunderstorms.
This one wasn't too bad, and quite frankly, it felt nice. The water was bathtub warm, and the wind was manageable. And then it simply stopped. Still dark though, and the you could see the lightening and hear/feel the rumble of thunder off in the distance.

Now really, doesn't this beat the pants off blazing sun? No? Well, how about this: A very pretty female cyclist went past in the opposite direction. And she was soaked. Yep, that lycra was just clinging to her like saran wrap. Now, doesn't that beat the pants off blazing sun? Life is good sometimes.

I'd hardly consider it a badge of courage. It's just something that happens. I did get caught in hail once. Now that stuff hurts.
