I will NOT be riding to work. I'll be sitting on the beach in sunny Avon North Carolina.

I have actually been riding to work this week...usually only my weekend toy...but I don't like riding on Mondays because of my schedule.

Maybe I will have to make an exception.......

I'll be riding my bicycle that day. Well I'll have to drive my 12mpg Chevy truck to work and then an additional 40miles to the mountain bike trails I plan to ride and then 60miles back. Me and two other friends will be driving seperate trucks.

Since my bike is my ONLY mode of transportation, I'll be riding. I'm off work Monday but I'll be riding somewhere

Weather channel had a 70% chance of rain today plus it was heavy clouds this morning so I drove the Suburban to work.

I work 7 -4:30 and was kicking myself in the ass as it cleared up and was sunny. Until 3:30 when some clouds moved in.

about 4:20 I heard thunder as I was getting ready to leave.

I got into the suburban at 4:40, it was 78* and it was lightning towards my 18 mile drive home.

After 4 miles, it started to rain extremely heavily. By 5 miles, I had to slow to 15-20 mph because of the heavy hailstorm I was in. I was in pea to grape size hail and was wondering if 20 mph was going to bust my winshield. The temp dropped to 52*

A few miles up the road I literally considered pushing the button for 4wd as I was driving in 1-1/2" of hail on the road.

The roads were flooded and all kinds of debris had washed onto the road. A few miles later I was out of the heavy storm and by about 6 miles from home, the sun was out

Two miles from home the roads were completely dry and it didn't even rain at home

I guess I lucked out by not riding

I rode...but did not find out until after I was at work that it might rain today.

Ended up taking my bike home in the middle of the day to swap it for my car.

Either way I was excited to try out my new everyday riding pants.
