They were predicting some rain today, so I last night I packed the bag planning to ride the rain bike. My heart wanted to ride the road bike, but my head told me that probably wasn't a good idea. I'm glad I listened to my head.

When I left the house there were ominous dark clouds and some lightning to the north of town. However it was dry at my house and the darker clouds were heading in the opposite direction from where I was heading. I hoped that maybe I would skirt the storm. Completely dry ride until my halfway point at 4 miles. Then it started to sprinkle. At mile 5 it turned into a complete downpour. By mile 6 through mile 8 though it lightened up to just a steady rain.

When I arrived at work a co-worker in the parking lot noted, "You look a lot dryer than I thought you would be!"
I had a one-word response: "Fenders."
