Today when I started out, there was plenty of wet in the air, but not quite rain. No wind--the ride in was uneventful.
By the time I went home, it was raining--my first commute in the rain!
I was very glad for the nylon rain jacket I keep in my pannier, and the spare headlight batteries!
All in all, it was an enjoyable ride, though there seemed to be a lot more cars on the highway than normal. Once I got off the highway, I was alone. Suddenly I heard a rustling in the grass on the side of the road. I thought, "That must be an animal, wonder if I'll see it" just as a rabbit (maybe) ran out right under me! It was caught for a moment between my front wheel and my pedalling foot--then it skittered away. I don't think I actually ran over it and I hope it wasn't hurt. It was getting dark (and my glasses were wet) and by the time I looked back, it was gone. I'm pretty sure it was a rabbit, though. Felt like a plump lil rascal, too.
