my first ride in the rain!

I've ridden before in a light sprinkle, but last night the weather guy on the news said "This is the strongest storm we've seen in 4 decades.......in October". Anyway, 55 F windy, rainy. I found out that I wasn't prepared for it. 1/4 mile from home it felt like I had two small aquariums with feetfish swimming in them attached to my pedals. I ride toeclips and straps and didn't bring an extra pair of socks or shoes...so i'm barefoot working today.

Anyway, the ride was short, 2 miles, but I think i really like riding in the rain. Seems like people were giving me more room than if it were dry...kind of like "Look at that poor soul, I'd better move to the left lane". They didn't know that THEY are the "poor souls" stuck in their cars whilst I'm living life.

I hope it's still raining on the way home!
