Rainy and snowy.

20 miles into the commute I was drenched with a combo of snow and rain. My gear is now drying next to a space heater in a vacant cube.

Anyhow, I have this detour through a lovely industrial area. One street has two sets of train tracks crossing it at a 45 degree angle. I cross the tracks at 2mph or less, perpendicular to the track. So, I hit the wet track going even slower and my bike wiped about 45 degrees to my left. Somehow while clipped in I pulled up on the tilted side and righted my bike. Egads! That was scary.
