Cold Rain.

Got caught in the rain tonight while riding. Not just any rain, but buckets of water, rivers up to the axle, soaked to the bone rain. I stopped under the overhang at an auto-parts/beauty shop/florist combo to throw out my surely ruined phone and found it actually still worked. I called my wife to come get me, waited, then listened to 20 minutes of bitching about hydroplaning cars, blindness, weather.com, too much riding, and the wonders of taking a bus in Singapore over this. Yeah, I know. Ahhh happy happy joy joy.

Anyway, I still got a good hour + of riding in before all that happened. Plus side? The Hutchinson Tubeless Road Tires on my new Dura-Ace wheels didn't slip one bit. Yay!!!

The lesson to be learned here is never call your wife to pick you up in the rain. :)

Aint that the Truth! I'd rather ride through a blizzard in the dark than go through that again.

another lesson: carrying a cell phone on a solo ride is bad luck.
