I rode a particularly brutal 600 km brevet over the weekend, getting home at about midnight, sore all over. So when my alarm went off at 4:15 AM I was not thrilled about the idea of going to work, let alone getting back on the bike to ride to the station, and on top of that it was raining. Knowing I'm always slow on these morning after commutes, I tried to stay ahead of schedule... but still had to pedal a lot faster than I would have liked. Caught my train with about 30 seconds to spare.
Fortunately it was an uneventful commute, the traffic lights were in my favor, and the rain was very light.
Alas when I got to NYC there were no CitiBikes to be found, and the rain had picked up. Had to walk a mile in the rain. I might have enjoyed that on another day, but this morning it was unwelcome.
