Rainy and windy, about 60 degrees. As soon as I left, the hole in the rain that had been on radar must have quickly closed back up, b/c the rain quickly got harder. At first I was thinking to myself what a crummy commute it was. Once I got thoroughly soaked, though, I started to not care about the rain and just enjoyed the ride. And enjoy it, I did. Despite only getting about 4 hours of sleep, my legs felt pretty good, and it was nice to have the MUP pretty much all to myself. I literally counted four, that's right, just four bikes the whole 7-ish miles from home to work. Now, I realize for some of you this is a daily occurence, but around here on my MUP and into dowtown DC it's quite rare. Normally, I wouldn't even be able to keep count of other bikes.

Like mjw16, I've got everything drying out in front of a fan. Wore athletic shorts and boxer briefs this AM, too, both soaked, obviously, but didn't think to grab a spare set of underwear, so I'm going commando while my undies dry out as much as possible. Might have to try going commando home, too, if they don't dry out more.

It all demonstrates to me the need to look into improvising/purchasing some rain gear or at least better logistical provisions for rain since I plan on riding though the cold and wet seasons, too...
