Morning ride was uneventful.

If I could have missed my last meeting, everything would have been fine going home. As it was, I watched the radar and figured if I left to get changed, I might miss the coming shower and still have time to get home before the next shower hit. Wrong.

First shower hit before I got out of the parking lot, coming over the ridge to the north. OK, two miles in the rain, and then sprint before the next one ... started raining on me. Hard. Started me wondering, if I get home wet, and the bike stays in the garage overnight where the relative humidity will stay at 100%, is it better to oil the chain at night (and potentially trap water inside the chain to facilitate internal rust), or oil it in the morning before setting off? What say the boffins of the interwebs? As it was, it was barely sprinkling by the time I made it home, and bounced the bike a few times to try to shake off excess water.

Well, we needed the rain, and my lawn will appreciate it.

I think I'll add "try to time the ride home between thundershowers" to "wash the car" and "hang (bike) clothes out to dry" as near certain ways to "make" it rain.
