Ok, I've been bad about posting my commutes lately but have been commuting daily to work, with the exception of last Friday for inclement weather.

But then there was this morning. Weather called for 70ish degrees Fahrenheit and a 30% of rain for the day (keep rain poncho in bag, basically). Well about 2 minutes into the ride I get hit with a thunderstorm. I took an extra 10 minutes on the ride (35 minutes rather than 25 minutes) so I could go a bit extra slow as I don't currently have a front light on the bike. The emergency poncho lets a bit too much rain through and doesn't do squat to keep my rear wheel skunk stripe from happening (I really need fenders). Needless to say I arrived at work in full drowned rat mode.
