I rode my boots to the TOC this AM, and then I rode my CUCV out to the TA for awhile.
Great times.

Same here, waited out a storm at work and wound up catching up to it on the way home.

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.
