Yep. Losing two days of cycling at a time is why I made the rule that if it isn't pouring cats and dogs or crashing thunder and lightening in the morning when I get ready to leave, I'm riding my bike. Afternoon forecast be damned.
So far, I've only been badly beaten by weather twice, when nasty T-Storms came through and caught me away from shelter out on the bike trail. And, once I had enough sense to duck under at a K-Mart as another storm approached, waiting it out under their awning area.
