Despite having a cold, I rode in.
The good news was I debated for half an hour about not coming into work at all and that allowed a storm to pass. The bad news was my cold-addled brain forgot several things (that it's trash day, to wear a helmet---although that made for a nicer ride---and to wear sunglasses).
My butt got a bit wet (don't have fenders), but my-oh-my is the world beautiful after a storm.
