This morning was 40 degrees, lots of rain and a stiff cross wind. To make matters worse I seem to have contracted a mild cold. My wife was trying to convince me to drive but I explained that I would just sit at work sulking about not riding. She doesn't understand it. Not sure I do either, but that's what I would have done had I taken the car.

I do need to look into getting a decent pair of rain pants. I just wore some old sweats over my work pants. They're not exactly water resistant, but they got the job done in a pinch. By the time I arrived they had soaked up a fair amount of moisture but kept most of it off my pants.

I am glad that right before I walked out the door I threw a spare pair of socks in my bag. My feet were pretty wet by the time I got to work.
