I don't know about luck. It's typical in a car. Sucks that it was you this time though.

Why is it that you prefer riding in again (runs for hills)

My first wet ride in to work this morning. I've been soaked before but it was always on the way home. Oh well, took a while to change and everything's behind me in my cube being blown at by two fans . I'll live.

Made me realize that I'm missing some crucial commuting equipment. I need waterproof shoes/boots as the shoes I was wearing today may withstand a light sprinkle but not a constant splashing for 40 minutes.

Something for the head would be nice too. I think I'll make a winter helmet following jeff-o's instructions (rebel-cycles.com).
