It's pouring rain at the moment. I got a ride in early and beat it by about 30 minutes. Putting the lights on the bike was the right way to go.

I kinda enjoy it when it's raining so hard there's no chance of staying dry. You just gotta relax and enjoy it at that point. The caveat is that I'll only enjoy it when heading home.

Totally know what you mean! As long as it's not too cold, getting all wet and accepting it, feels great.

I have a shower at my work, and hang up my sweaty/wet bike clothes, but....yeah, if they're soaked, they're still gonna be wet at the end of the workday. And that's no fun, for the first few minutes at least. :D

I know the feeling! I've cheated getting poured on a few times. Literally get in the door and a few minutes later it's a downpour.

Take THAT, nature! 😋
