My first commute in the rain was ugly and I pulled a hamstring. Did that stop me? No. Smart? No. This one time I was all alone on this quite country road, just a light mist, but what FREAKED me out was the rolling thunder that went from my far left side directly over my head and then to my far right. It was like a giant monster was stepping over my head. I thought for sure I would be stricken dead, and so violently there would only be a smoking smoldering mess of melted metal and torn flesh. Did that stop me? No. Smart? No. Riding in heavy rain is STUPID.

Please remind me the next time I do it. Thank you very much.
