My timing today was impeccable. I had to go in to work early to set up for a big meeting, so I set my alarm 30 minutes early. It went off and I stayed in bed. I eventually got up, showered, went back to bed, only to be awakened by thunder 2 minutes later. It was raining cats and dogs outside! I squinted out the window, saw that I was pretty much guaranteed to get soaked, and got ready to ride. 3 minutes later, I stepped out the door and got on my bike. The rain ended right then, and other than road spray that escaped my fenders, I made it to work completely dry.
