I honestly cant remember anything about the morning commute....but as soon as I left work it started to come down hard w/ lightning. I stood under a tree for a few mintues thinking about if I should just get on the bus/cab...but said F it and rode out. Stopped about a quarter of the way home to pick up some food, and the rain stopped.
I feel so free now that I know its no big deal to ride in the rain. I used to not ride when it rained, and hated it...but now I know everyday is a bike day.
