Yeah, huge headwind coming in from the north. I hope the direction does not change before the evening commute.  I have a feeling all that rain gear will come in handy for the return ride.

I rode in this morning. Warm, but I fought a headwind the whole way. Brought my rain gear, but it didn't end up raining this AM.

The NWS issued a flood watch for this afternoon, so watch out for standing water on the roadways.

  I rode last night 5 miles in the rain. Felt great!!!

2-1/2 blocks from home and the downpour started. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

'Tis amazing how wet you can get in 2-1/2 blocks.

The rain gear paid off for my two minutes of downpour. ;-)

I rode today.  The morning was fine.  The evening commute was in a heavy downpour.  But I was fully kitted out in my rain gear, and exept for my feet, I stayed dry.

 

good!

Was a bit sweaty this morning (wore my baselayer+ wind jacket, still a bit much for 60 degrees).  Left work at 4 PM and booked it like no ones business to get home before the rain hit

Rode home in the downpour. Not as bad as I was expecting, though. For anyone planning on riding later, watch out – the roads are starting to flood.

I love riding in the rain!  Especially when it's warm out.  Today was especially fun with the tailwind helping me out on the way home.

Note: the dead, frozen rat I kept running over near Webster and Southport is no longer frozen.  Gross.

Spitting out this morning but with the roads soaked I'm thankful for fenders.  Can't wait for the snow tonight to make the lakefront trail sparkle!

You're good as long as it stays dead.
