I made a good call driving yesterday as we had a lot of rain, including a monster thunderstorm during the afternoon commute time. It was raining so hard that the streets were flooding like crazy, and the water flowing along the curbsides was knocking over large trash cans and carrying away bags of leaves. I don't know what I would have done if caught riding in a storm like that with no place to seek cover. I actually saw a roadie -- who often passes me on my commute home in afternoons -- out riding during the storm. He was dressed in black with no lights of course.

The storms resulted from a cold front passing through, so the weather is beautiful today with sunny skies and low humidity. Very pleasant ride this morning and should be even nicer this afternoon.
