i had 14 miles of wonderful weather and then i got to the 15th and final mile of my daily commute. it started as a light mist, then a drizzle, then building into regular rain, and then for the last 100 yards or so, a full blown downpour. i was wet, but not as soaked as i would have been had i left 5 minutes later and ridden through a deluge like that for 5 minutes. i call that mostly a victory in terms of outrunning a storm.
