Had a decent tailwind last night (rear left), though it was raining. Got me going pretty good on my junky soon-to-be-retired hybrid. Went to hop out of the traffic lane outside the gate since it's usually easier for me to merge over after the traffic burst dies down than trying to jockey for position. Tyre skidded out on the lip of the parking lot entrance (slight lip, done it dozens of times before in even heavier rain at times). Ground my helmet, right elbow and right knee about a foot before stopping. Got up like a pro, walked the yeowch off, remounted my chain and rode home.

Sadly it tore a small pair of holes in my rain pants

This morning it was uberfoggy.
