Woo Hoo!!! The Rain was fun tonight!

I started leaving work about 8:50 tonight (to beat the rain) and made it about 50 ft before the first drops hit.
The sad thing is that I'd taken my rain jacket out of the pannier and hung it up at home.
The heavy stuff hit just as I crossed Arapaho at Custer and I rode through the parking lot to take what little shelter I could from a store overhang and dried off the glasses. Since the overhang was open to the west (guess which way the wind was blowing) and rain was coming down in sheets, I figured I'd make a dash for the shops across the lot and wait it out. Of course by the time I'd gotten to the other side I was as wet as I could possibly get, so I just continued on home.

The Darlin' Wife met me at the door with towels and dry sweats as I divested myself of the sodden mass that was once my clothing.

Wouldn't you know the storm was nearly done by the time I'd changed.....

I had a blast!
