the skies looked dicey when i woke-up, but i checked the radar and nothing was doing, so i rolled the dice and rode my road bike. sure enough, about 13.5 miles into my 15 mile commute, i get pinched by a downpour. confused, i immediately pulled under a building overhang and whipped out my phone, i checked the radar again and saw that a small little cloud burst was overhead. i waited about 10 minutes for it to pass, and then proceeded to roll slowly the rest of the way because my road bike is not fender equipped and the roads had received a thorough soaking.

i should know better than to roll the dice when the clouds look suspicious, but i foolishly trusted the weather radar and took my road bike because it's just so much more fun to ride than my old fender equipped mountain bike.
