My commute is pretty long 1-1:15 hours and I just don't enjoy riding in soaking rain for that long. It's usually an easy call to drive on Mondays because I typically ride a lot of miles over the weekend, with a 50-60+ miler on Saturday or Sunday, so my legs can use a break. We also get a lot of severe storms in NC with high winds, torrential rain, hail and sometimes tornadoes. It's not like riding in sprinkles or light rain.
