Sorry, I got the large coffee after my shower instead of the small.

I don't mind the rain riding home and really don't mind it riding in the morning, but it's that transition from parking the truck, after fighting freeway traffic for 35 miles, and unloading the bike in the rain that kinda sucks. I been taking more and more time sitting in the truck, sipping my coffee and listening to Stern, before jumping on the bike lately.

rain, Rain, RAIN!
I almost just can't take it any more.
I mean, I know we need it (not so much snow this year = little run off = bad drought in July & Aug), but I just really wish it were a bit more... spread out.

My company CEO biked to work today, arrivign before I did. It was his first time doing so. He seemed proud of himself, and dragged me into his office to show me his equipment as proof. He wore a helmet from about 1986 and rode an old hybrid bike.

Two out of my three bikes have the potential for sporting fenders. I'm a habitual tinkerer, though. Right now I have no bike in the garage with fenders mounted on it. Jeesh, I feel so vulnerable. I'm actually watching the weather day to day which isn't like me at all normally.
Note to self: Never work on more than one bike at a time.
