I generally like riding in the rain. No pedestrians in the MUPs.
During my first spring commute, I was caught in a thunderstorm going home c/w lightening (June 2014). When I got home I jumped straight into the shower. When I got out, my wife told me the roof was leaking and rain was dripping on to the stove. The news the next morning was that a golfer had been struck by lightning but he was saved by another golfer who was a nurse.
