<p>Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny, little wind and ending up around 51 or 52. I am going to collect my niece in the morning and we are going to ride down to check out the South Lake Shore Drive extension and explore the area that will be the new park. Then we are going to ride back north and have lunch. Ride to eat, you know!</p>

<p>Nice topic. I too am loving Divvy for the mixed commute segment options (ie. home to work, then train home). My plan yesterday (Halloween, worked like a charm) and today is to leave early (like 3pm), to beat the rain front from downtown to Wicker Park. They're begrudgingly OK with me saying I'll remote in the last few hours.</p>

<p>I rode the bus in yesterday. It reminded me why I always bike. So I decided to Divvy home during what I thought was a lull in the rain. Bad decision; I got caught in some heavy rain in my work clothes, and was reminded why I should <em>occasionally</em> ride the bus instead.</p>

<p>I rode home last night. In the rain. I really don't like riding in rain. I really don't like taking the subway, either, so I guess I will always be weighing what seems to be the lesser of two evils in deciding what to do.</p>
<p>I will be riding to work today!</p>

Jennifer- me freaking too.<br />
<br />
It took me HALF AN HOUR to get from Chicago and Milwaukee to Chicago and Michigan on the bus.<br />
<br />
I could ride that in like 10 min. Or something. even with traffic and the stoplights.<br />
<br />
Rain or shine. I'm riding tomorrow.

<p>The waterproof pants were an improvement over what I was previously doing, which was letting my jeans get soaked. However, my shoes are only-ankle-high, so I still got a lot of water splashed onto my socks and the bottoms of my jeans. The worst kind of water, too - water splashed up from cars. Gaiters would solve the problem, but I don't mind it that much. Taller boots would help, too, of course. </p>

<p>Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I just realized I didn't newspaper my shoes when I got into work this morning. But if clammy feet are the worst part of the evening commute home I'll be happy, traffic did seem to be crazy this morning.</p>
